Bri DiMattina: Nostrana

This week on Cooking the Books, Italian-Kiwi gardener and cook,
Bri DiMattina tells us how she’s grown a food forest using
permaculture principles in her garden in New Zealand.


Her book Nostrana, meaning ‘home grown’ is also an
extraordinary story of Italian food heritage in New Zealand. It’s
the legacy of her grandparents growing a new world for themselves
and their fellow Italians during the economic migration in the
early 1900s. But as Bri celebrates its publication in the UK -
and Nigella's pick in her Cookbook Corner - she tells
Gilly how her Instagram page @iatemygarden was never meant for
the book shelves.


Check out Gilly's Substack for much more on Bri's permaculture
principles than you'll find in the book!
