Why I love my life!

March 29, 2009 by Divina Cucina

Often when I am travelling teaching in the states, people ask me if I ever get homesick. I moved here in 1984 and have never looked back.

Life in Europe is not easy- but always exciting and yummy when you life circles around food.

I am in the right place!

You know life is good when your butcher calls in the master pastry maker and is serving hot bomboloni – italian doughnuts on a wet Sunday afternoon-

or driving by the local pool, you see the truffle hunters are throwing a dinner party!

and simple dishes like eggs, can be made for a king!

Italia ti amo!

Watch those ticket prices- they are coming down….. come on over and party like an Italian! There is always some sagra, local festival celebrating some food or wine.

PS April 6th I am guest chef and doing a book signing in Kansas City MO.
At my friend JASPERS…. come on down!

Here is the info on where and when!

    I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of your book and will talk about it on my blog once I have it and start trying things! I’m sorry I missed you when you were in CA.

    The festival would be fun. I really noticed a lot of Sagra in Piemonte last spring – it seemed as if every town had a sign up advertising some upcoming event. I love the way the Italians celebrate their food.

    Oh, how I miss living – and eating – in Italy. Truly the best place for a food lover to live on this earth.

Judy Witts Francini

Originally from California; Tuscany has been my home since 1984. I found the city of Florence to hold all my passions, food, wine, art all in one place. When I am not in Tuscany, I am often found in Sicily, my other favorite place to be. Always searching for recipes to share and exploring for the guides I write to my favorite cities for food and wine.
