Meet a #Canberra Foodie: Giulia Porro (@loveateverybite)

Posted on February 19, 2014 Updated on February 24, 2014

After recently starting this blog and exploring new ideas for content, I boldly began approaching some of Canberra’s better known foodies and bloggers and inviting them to join me for lunch at their favourite affordable (i.e. very cheap and tasty) eatery/van/café/restaurant/kitchen/etc. I wasn’t sure if anyone has done this sort of thing before with the local foodies? If anyone has links to such interviews please pass them on. My first interview was with the lovely Giulia Porro, and I’m hoping to ask each interviewee the same twenty questions that follow. I had the pleasure of Giulia’s company at her favourite “cheap eat’ in Civic: Guzman Y Gomez (which is on Bunda Street façade of the Canberra Centre just up the road from Dobinson’s Bakery café).

Who are you Giulia?  I’m a food lover, a wine lover, a travel lover. I’m the author of the food blog ‘Love at Every Bite’. I do not consider myself any kind of expert in the kitchen, just a sucker for anything containing vanilla and with the word pizza in it. Having left Europe to return to my home country Australia, my nostalgia is easily overcome – by cooking (and of course eating). Love at Every Bite is a collection of everyday recipes, food that can be cooked easily with ingredients that will most likely feature in your pantry and will not cost you a fortune. I grew up travelling through different countries, so I like to think what I cook is inspired by all sorts of tastes, smells, colours and sounds!
