In 1984, I bought a one-way ticket to Europe and fell in love with Florence the city and then a year later a Florentine. I opened my cooking school, Divina Cucina in 1988 and began my love affair with Italy.
I have been running Culinary Vacations for over 30 years. Now that I am retiring from touring I am sharing all my research on a new series of guides.
A few years ago I had created an app called TASTE CHIANTI to share my favorite places to eat, drink, shop and stay, which is not longer available. I have taken that info and I am creating new guides using the Thatch app.
I have created several itineraries from day tripping, the best gelato in Florence, to Palermo, Sicily. You can download the app and create your own list of places to see and things to do. You can then buy and download to add to your lists as well. Email me if you are interested in custom itineraries.
Taste Chianti:
Sorry to say, the Taste Chianti app is no longer available to download.
During Covid, the company which hosted the app, cancelled their services.
If you already have it, it still works!
