204: Why blogger Sophie Hansen moved to Italy for food

Sophie Hansen is a mum of two teens, and she's a food writer living on a farm near Orange in New South Wales. She met her husband through an R.M.Williams magazine (that's a story!) and life on the land is not what she had planned. Sophie grew up in the city and after working in food magazines,  had her own Eat Pray Love experience when she packed up and moved to a rural community in Italy for a few years which inspired her love of slow and seasonal food. Fast forward to today, and she's created a big brand (and lots of books) which all started with a simple blog from the farm. Soph's story is a fitting way to wrap up a big 2023 for Motherland....we also talked about how to take the pressure off ourselves and survive the chaos of Christmas! This is her story.
