My guest today is another mountain girl who moved to Texas (I know I'm not there anymore but of course I loved the parallels)!

Originally from Austria, Claudia lives in Austin with her American husband and their baby son. She is a professional pastry chef and culinary expert, and the founder of Alpin Delights, where she brings a taste of Austria to the US through live online baking classes, pre-recorded cooking and baking lessons, as well as a selection of authentic Austrian baked goods available to order locally in Austin.

Grab your popcorn (or cake!) and sit down for this special treat of a story, as you listen to Claudia's amazing and dramatic love story that brought her to Texas, just ten months ago. No spoilers allowed here!

Of course we discuss the difficulties and joys (!) of dating long-distance, how life never goes according to plan, the power of connection and the importance of family, food and friendship.

Books we mention:

From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home, by Tembi Locke

My Berlin Kitchen: A Love Story, by Luisa Weiss
