- Molly-"Cultural awareness. Knowing that people of other cultures, like Italians, in America are deeply connected to the foods they grew up with"
- Erica- "Cooking with fresh herbs right from the garden, Everything was fresh and high quality. Where as in America, we often eat processed food from a factory or produce shipped in"
- Liz- "The food here is wholesome and no part is wasted. The Italians eat every part of the animal and plant. I think about how we can eat this way in America."
