In this episode of Your Friend in Food, Sandie Markle sits down with Giangi Townsend of Giangi’s Kitchen to talk about how food can be a source of comfort, creativity, and connection. Raised in a French and Italian household, Giangi shares her unexpected journey into cooking, how she started blogging for just two friends, and the recipes that still bring her back to herself.

From the crispy rosemary potatoes that remind her of home to the milk rice that once soothed her grandmother, Giangi’s story is a beautiful reminder that the simplest dishes often carry the most meaning.
