Heading Home to Tuscany

May 5, 2010 by Divina Cucina

Steve Sando and Judy at the Rancho Gordo demo

My long tour comes to an end and I took a couple of hours to just sit by the ocean and breathe.

People always ask me if I miss living in California- so much of the scenery is the same but there is no ocean. I also got my fill of food I miss, Chinese, Thai, some great Sushi and Mexican.
Perhaps tomorrow will have my bagel and smoked salmon breakfast and then I am ready to go home.

Had a blast with Steve at Rancho Gordo, was almost a “This is your life” moment as friends showed up from the hotel where I used to work and also from high school.

Thanks to all that came by. The final day was a family cooking class get together and the weather was perfect. Hosted by my friend Terry in her new Kitchen/School, the weather was lovely for dining outside and everyone loved the truffled salad and the three year old parmesan cheese with 20 year old balsamic vinegar!

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.
