A Kynd Life with Nadia Fragnito

Nadia Fragnito has always had a strong connection to Italian food and culture, with her father being born in southern Italy. Nadia reminisces of the times her mother and Nonna created hearty homecooked Italian meals and holds dear food memories with her family.

This deep connection has influenced Nadia's love for southern Italian cooking, with her passion projects including cooking, recipe creation and cookbook development. Nadia enjoys the creativity and experimentation of 'veganising' classic Italian meals, with her ravioli and Tiramisu being a crowd favourite!

Nadia went vegetarian after leaving home, but just before her 21st birthday, she came across information on factory farming and realised being vegetarian was not enough. Nadia went vegan in 2001 and set her family the challenge of having a vegan 21st birthday party.

Nadia holds cooking classes, demonstrations, retreats, has featured on a SBS cooking show and is a regular guest cook on Channel 10's Freshly Picked with Simon Toohey. Later this year, Nadia will be releasing her second cookbook titled "A vegan summer in southern Italy".

In this episode, Nadia discusses the importance of finding your vegan tribe, bringing your passion projects to life and vegan travel.
