Laura Vitale On The Massive Success of Her YouTube Series, Laura in the Kitchen, Growing up in Italy, and the Best Organization Tips

Katie welcomes Laura Vitale, of the popular Youtube channel Laura in the Kitchen (boasting almost 4 million subscribers!). Katie and Laura discuss how she built her successful social media empire. In true entrepreneurial spirit, Laura found her way when one door closed and she created another to open. After immigrating to the United States from Naples, Italy at the age of 12, she spent her late teen years working in her father's pizza restaurant in New Jersey, and upon his closing during the financial crisis of 2008, the idea for her own business was born. Laura has never looked back and has published two dream cookbooks, Laura in the Kitchen and At My Italian Table. She learned how to make her famous red sauce from her grandmother along with several other classic Italian dishes. When Laura moved to the US, she used these recipes as a source of comfort that created a familiar feeling of home and family in Italy, and now her followers share in every delicious bite. She describes building a second kitchen in her home soley for filming purposes, how she schedules her days to balance work life and mom life, her holiday plans, and what she cooks for family meals. In addition to cooking, Laura has the best home organization tips to make everything feel more manageable. She’s knows how to get any stain out, freeze and store food for meal prep ease, and is a true believer that picking up a mess immediately makes the weekly cleanup a breeze.
