Dopo gli studi all'Universit\u00e0 di Scienze Gastronomiche mi son lasciata andare alle correnti, che un po' per destino un po' per scelta mi han condotta prima a Lucca nella redazione di Cook_inc. e poi al Corriere della Sera, attraverso un flusso interminabile di parole dette e scritte. Guardandomi attorno ho poi capito che la ricerca del bello e genuino riconduceva sempre alla mia terra natia: eccomi cos\u00ec a Langhe.net, realt\u00e0 che appoggio e in cui collaboro con entusiasmo. Italoamericana sulla carta ma aspirante cittadina del mondo, troppo giovane per capirne qualcosa ma con una voglia matta di guardare, approfondire, raccontare.","url":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/author\/kayapearson\/"}]}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13726"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110512"},{"taxonomy":"lgarea","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/langhe.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lgarea?post=110512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
