From the Italian Alps to London's Petersham Nurseries, the Boglione family's restaurant and garden centre, Anna's upbringing was permeated by nature. Later in life a disconnect from the natural world caused Anna digestive issues, affecting her physical and mental health. This spurred her to research holistic practises and nutrition and learn about food systems. She launched The Gut, a food and wellness platform which encourages healthy living, in balance with nature.

Recipes to Reconnect includes conversations with 12 influential thinkers and writers, and recipes from 12 leading chefs, from the Petersham family of restaurants and beyond. Created by the Boglione family, Petersham Nurseries is both a Michelin Green Star restaurant and a plant nursery, situated along the river Thames in Richmond. Sister restaurants include The Petersham and La Goccia in Covent Garden.
