As someone with a great appreciation for delicious food, April 6 is a day close to my heart. Carbonara Day is an event organized by the Italian Food Union. Since 2017, this international event has been celebrated through the sharing of carbonara recipes from world-renowned chefs via live streaming directly to your kitchen. The world’s largest “spaghetti social” can be followed on social media.

A simple search for #Carbonara or #CarbonaraDay will reach millions of people who appreciate this famous Roman dish. Living in Rome, I continually add to my list the best places to find this delicious gift to humanity. It truly leads me to worship our Creator. A taste of a well-cooked carbonara can lead even non-believers to thank God out loud as their palate explodes with the delicious flavors of the pasta, egg cream, cheese, pepper and guanciale.
