Your Best Friend in Italy

Diva in Sonoma-

by

People often ask me if I ever get homesick for California.

Tuscany is so similar to the California wine country that I don’t miss it at all.

This was our first view driving from Napa over to Sonoma where I am teaching for three days at Ramekins.

The hills looked like early spring, lush green hills and the signature mustard greens.

Today, instead hail struck.

But when I arrive on American soil, I have a list of things I need to eat.

My friend Steve of Rancho Gordo, who better to get my Mexican food fix with.

As we drove up to the tortilla factory it was love at first site.

We had the “fried” everything, and then also tasted the wonderful hot flour tortilla!!!

Thanks Steve! Ti Amo!

    I really wish I could join you in Seattle, but I have bad things I must do that day. Have fun on your tour.

    Hi Judy,

    I discovered your blog while searching for a recipe for Nocino liqueur. Thank you for the recipe and thanks so much for all your wonderful Tuscan market reports.

    I have an Italian food blog too. I’m ‘Skinny Guinea’ at http://www.ericademane.com. I write about Southern Italian cooking by way of New York.

    I’ve added you to my links page. When time permits, I’d love you to take a look at my blog and possibly link to it too.

    Best to you,

    Erica De Mane
