radicchio + blood orange {salad}
I’ve been in the States for the last week and am actually writing this from my sister’s house in Westchester.During the last week I’ve visited three States in less than 7 days, and done so much that my head is spinning. It’s been mostly a time to visit family, and I’ve seen my mom in...

aciugheta {venice}
Venice can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. Both from an cultural perspective (can a city really be that beautiful or have that much art?) and from a tourist standpoint (can there really be that many tourists in one place?). When visiting Venice I tend to at least keep my distance from the main tourist traffic...

mercato sant’ambrogio {florence}
These days it seems like when it comes to markets in Florence Mercato di San Lorenzo is getting all the love. Located between the railway station and the Duomo, the 19th century covered market was, for years, the central market where most Florentines did their shopping. In the olden days (i.e. when I lived there...

where to eat artichokes in rome
I was all set to write a blog post with a round up of all my favorite artichoke recipes. But then I realized that I’d been there, done that. And while you might appreciate artichoke recipes, there is the sad, but true, fact that the artichokes you can get at home just aren’t the same as the...

sabatino {florence}
There are some words that, in the course of my professional career, I’ve learned directly in Italian. When I was writing mostly about design and architecture words like grondaia, altana and davanzali (gutter, balcony and windowsill) often came easier in Italian than they did in English. Similarly there are certain phrases having to do with...

join me for an aperitivo in new york
Due to overwhelmingly surprising demand, I’ve organized another event in New York. I”m not sure what I was thinking when I invited you to join me for dinner at Porsena, but I certainly didn’t imagine that the event would sell out in 30 minutes. Wow!!! And thank you!!!! Because I would really like to meet...

trattoria da burde {firenze}
During my last trip to Florence to update Eat Italy, I tried to visit as many places as possible. Not just new places, but old places as well. At the complete opposite end of the spectrum from ‘Gesto is Da Burde. Well, actually, it’s not the complete opposite, since they are both restaurants in Florence....

gesto {florence}
I’m not usually one for gimmicks. Themed restaurants with cute little quirks usually just get on my nerves. Which is why, when I sat down at ‘Gesto a few weeks ago, in Florence, I was a wee bit worried. First there was the menu. 20 dishes divided equally between four categories: Meat, Fish, Vegetable and...

beet gnudi for your valentine
I’m not usually one to post holiday recipes. It’s not because I don’t approve of them. It’s just that I’m not that organized. At one point I attended a presentation that said that people start planning out their holiday Pinterest boards 4 months ahead of time. 4 months? I can barely figure out tonight’s menu plan....
