Lauren Birmingham and the One Kilometer Rule

Cherry Bomb! The Podcast

Lauren Birmingham, founder of cooking-vacations.com, has created tours of Italy from her heart. And, has made me very hungry to go visiting.

During this episode, our conversation lead us to subjects like the Italian version of farm-to-table: your ingredients come from sources less than one kilometer from where your food is made. And, it is a cardinal sin to go further.

We also discuss how she creates her tours, her upcoming book of fascinating people and delicious recipes that will be out at the end of year, and her love of the curious, interesting history of Italian food.

She tells a compelling story of the landscape, and rich historic traditions, of Italian cooking.
