you to a thousand fascinating places\u2026<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but she never tells you how to get back home.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s just say she doesn\u2019t provide an instruction manual.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With her, you travel without a safety net \u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on a kind of multicolored carousel that seems chaotic, but isn\u2019t.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need to know the destination before you leave,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if you crave reassurance,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giulia is probably not the guide for you.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With her, you have to cast off the ropes and set sail.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And yet, her apparent randomness \u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that\u2019s the real surprise \u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has its own method.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giulia is the <\/span><b>ideologist, chef<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><b>organizer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> behind <\/span><b>Kitchen Wishes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And lately, she\u2019s also a mom.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her motto? <\/span><b>To welcome.<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To welcome whatever comes \u2014 always \u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with one clear purpose:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to take it, transform it, and give it back.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Receiving as a Creative Act<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCooking is about receiving an ingredient and transforming it.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I receive a gift only to give it back in another form.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I keep nothing \u2014 I can\u2019t wait to release what I\u2019ve created<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and see what others will do with it.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My existence depends on others,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the sense that I need to make things and put them back into circulation \u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">transformed, but still mine.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the Kitchen Wishers, cooking is emotion turned into color and flavor,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">into release and creativity.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only limit is one\u2019s own skill \u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but anyone can get there, with time and curiosity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Giulia, cooking is music.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dish has its own sound, its rhythm \u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an entire symphony for which she is the conductor,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">almost in spite of herself.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When she cooks, she sees sparks of color,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">following them like the aromatic trails in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ratatouille.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the <\/span><b>Kitchen Wishes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> adventure began,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">she never imagined she\u2019d end up leading a whole team.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She only wanted to create a beautiful game.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in the end, many followed her \u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and she somehow found herself in command.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About <\/span><b>Elena<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, her co-chef, she says:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe\u2019s my balance.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When one of us rises, the other grounds her.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why we work \u2014 because neither of us feels like the \u2018first,\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so both our minds stay open.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giulia dreams of creating events that awaken the right neurons,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where people vibrate, lose themselves,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">forget what time or day it is \u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and simply <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">live the moment.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For her, living in the present is living well:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doing, rather than talking.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when you ask her where she wants to take Kitchen Wishes,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">she just shakes her head, almost annoyed.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI don\u2019t think about what it will become \u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">only about being who we are.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Future goals are
