Nestled in Northern Italy, Turin is a city steeped in culture, layered with history, brimming with art galleries, grand palaces, ornate churches, and, of course, unforgettable cuisine. But beyond the allure of Italian charm, what truly drew me there was an intimate cooking workshop with the ever-inspiring Mimi Thorisson. What could be more delightful than the soulful streets of Turin paired with the warmth and creativity of Mimi herself?
Her approach to food - beautifully rooted in storytelling and sensory experience - mirrors how I see interiors. It’s about crafting spaces that feel immersive and nourishing, spaces that transport you. Mimi, who grew up between France and Hong Kong, infuses her cooking with that blend of cultures, layering it with her deep love for all things Italian. It was a joy to experience that on this trip.
TRAVEL NOTES
TRAVEL NOTES
Our days were spent wandering through old churches and hidden trattorias, discovering walls adorned with vintage paintings and relics from another time. That kind of historical richness - nostalgic, layered, yet very much alive - is something I always aim to carry into my projects: a past brought beautifully into the present.
