Dinner Stories

Welcome to Dinner Stories!

Most recipe sites help you figure out what to cook, but I also want to help you find time to cook, even when your day doesn’t go as planned.

What are Dinner Stories?

Dinner Stories are short daily posts about real-life kitchen successes and challenges. Written to inspire you with ideas and solutions for getting dinner on the table—to enjoy more meaningful mealtimes.

I also want to help you learn to cook with “kitchen intuition,” so you don’t always have to rely on a recipe and can whip up something delicious in minutes.

From meal inspiration to easy dinner ideas, Dinner Stories chronicles finding solutions to common dilemmas, like finding the time to cook and managing last-minute dinner prep.

I’ll also help you stock your kitchen so you always have a quick dinner idea, because Dinner Stories are also about grocery shopping and ingredients—the first step to making easy and delicious meals!

Dinner Stories can help you learn to make fabulous meals without stress or strain. At Dinner with Caterina, I show you how simple habits can lead to a delicious lifestyle. And it’s a community I’ve created to help you live your delicious life!

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."
