Pia's Table is a cookbook that celebrates history, tradition, food and family. It is a place of welcome for all. Pia shares family stories, pasta and gnocchi making tips and recipes, fish and meat dishes, breads, soups, salads, desserts and biscotti. There really is something for everyone and all are welcome on this culinary journey.
I met Pia through a previous cookbook photography project and we just hit it off! Pia decided to create her own cookbook featuring beautiful home-cooked traditional Italian recipes from her family’s repertoire. And given our shared background and love of all things Italian culture, family and food, I said yes!
As the photographer for this project, I had such a wonderful time styling each of the dishes with Pia’s props (and others I’d collected along the way) and then sampling each of the dishes of course. This is such a beautiful keepsake, and recipe book.

It features parishioners, some of whom have been at the parish since the foundation year, and also some of its youngest members who are the hopes for the next 60 years. You have to give the Italian donuts (Zeppole) a try!
Food for the Highways and Byways: Celebrating 75 Years of the Missionary Sisters of Service is a commemorative cookbook that features an array of recipes, stories, historical information and photos related to this inspiring community of women.
I’ve been working with the Missionary Sisters of Service, an Australian community of pioneering women steeped in the Gospel story of Jesus, since 2016. It started off with interviews and photographs for an oral history project, and now includes this gorgeous 102-page cookbook, among other things!
