Georgia visits Tuscany to get back to her own roots, and learn about the generations of families who are carrying on their family's traditions, some for centuries.

Georgia is in Charleston, South Carolina where she is preparing a dinner at historic Fenwick Hall.

Georgia also shares her tips for setting a southern outdoor table.

Georgia hosts a dinner party at her home in Austin, Texas, focusing on ingredients that are as locally sourced and homemade as possible.

Georgia brings us into her garden and teaches us about small space gardening, container gardening, and how to make the most of the land around you, no matter your constraints.
