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!
Jeez, and I ordered the book online? I’m in KC for the weekend and could have picked it up myself. Grr. 😉

We would love to have you!
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.
That is why everyone loves Italy…well that is why I do, love visiting and taking in the life of the Italians!!!
I too, just love all the food events in Italy. Those sagras are everywhere! Stop by my blog. I’ve got something for you.
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.
