While trying to write this post for the monthly Italy Blogging Roundtable I have realized that all food is comfort food to me, but there are different things that I crave at different times of the year. And then there is Nutella… which is a year-round soul-healing food… and a very old-fashioned Tuscan “snack”…
Being on maternity leave, busy with an important job interview and putting together a wish list of items for our baby, and practically still wearing short sleeves on this year’s warm fall days, I almost forgot that Halloween, All Saint’s Day and the olive harvest were here! Until my grandma made Pane dei Santi…
“Pane e coperto” literally means “bread and tableware” but it is essentially a service charge that restaurants add to the bill for each guest. It is one of the most controversial issues in travel forums. I say it’s part of the Italian way of life, and we have to learn to live with it.
… and memories of the end of summer.
One of the oldest and most typical dishes of the Siena area, and definitely one of the most representative dishes of the Tuscan cucina povera, the poor people’s culinary tradition.
A delicious end of summer soup!
Peposo and Zucca al Tegame prepared from locally produced ingredients! Yummy!
After reading Giulia’s post on ginger meringues on her blog Juls’ Kitchen, I had to give it a second try and here is the result!
A great opportunity to see a different corner of Tuscany and to discover the wines of the region of Pisa.
They taste like home and good things to come.
This blog is written by a born and bred Tuscan who wishes to share her love for this region with as many people as possible. It's about living here, but also about travelling, learning, experiencing, and enjoying life in Tuscany.
It's about feeling at home in Tuscany.
