da cianci piola caffe {torino}
The evening I had planned to eat at Cianci I thought I would be ok. Even though the place never answered their phone, and seemingly did not accept reservations, I figured that if I arrived by 7:30 I would surely find a table. I got the very last seat. They somehow squeezed me in. And...

alla vecchia bettola {florence}
Alla Vecchia Bettola is that old fashioned kind of Florentine restaurant you’re hoping to find. Cozy, cramped, full of good food and good cheer. But unlike the more well known places around the San Lorenzo neighborhood, Alla Vecchia Bettola is also still a place that Florentines regularly go to. I’m not saying there won’t be tourists. There...

making mozzarella {video}
In my last newsletter* I mentioned that this year I was going to try to visit more people making food. I’m not talking about cooking. But visiting the artisans who are actually making the products that I use on a daily basis. One of the first visits on my ‘to do’ list was perhaps the...

savini truffles {florence}
Over the last few months I’ve spent a lot of time in Florence. Partly because, well, Florence, right? But I’ve also been working, as usual. Although I go regularly to Florence, and even used to live there, I hadn’t spent a big chunk of time there in a while, which would give me time to...

banco vino alimenti {torino}
When one of my favorite restaurants in Torino, Consorzio, decided to open a new, more casual place, I was pretty sure I was going to like it. What I didn’t realize is how much I would love it. The new place, Banco Vino Alimenti, is around the corner, still in the quadrilatero neighborhood. While Consorzio...

zucchini carbonara {rachel roddy book + video}
You know that moment when you meet someone new? And they ask you where you are from and you say “Chicago/New York/ Atlanta…..” or where ever? And then they say “Oh, I have a friend in “Chicago/ New York/ Atlanta….” and expect you to know them? Happens all the time, right? As if. Well, actually,...

where to eat in monti, rome {2016}
It’s been an awfully long time since I wrote a blog post on where to eat in my neighborhood of Monti, in Rome. It’s not as if I haven’t been writing about the subject, it’s just that I’ve been adding places in my my app, Eat Italy, rather than here on the blog. Sorry! As...

la tisanaria di santa maria novella {florence}
One of my favorite things to do in Florence is to stop by Santa Maria Novella. I’m not talking about the church (although that is very beautiful) but Officina Profuma Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, which is right around the corner. This ancient pharmacy was founded by the monks of Sant Maria Novella and is...

pork chops + sage + tomatoes {video}
In the last few years I’ve found myself trending towards a simpler way of eating. This is definitely the case when I’m choosing a restaurant. I just can’t seem to get that excited anymore about fancy, long meals. I will gladly go if invited, since I’m always curious. But when it’s just me that gets...

bean + prosciutto {soup}
I have a new favorite secret ingredient. And for those of you who know me well, you won’t be surprised to hear that it rhymes with pig. Well. It is pig. But a different cut of pig than I’m used to using. As you know, I’m always very likely to have either a hunk of...
