Florence Cooking Lessons and a Recipe

Florence Cooking Lessons and a Recipe

Florence Cooking Lessons was contributed by reader Art Moldavia from San Diego. If Florence is on your bucket list, you’ll also want to read his earlier trip report: “Authentic Florence – Places to Eat.” In 1979, Sharon Oddson and her artist husband, Giuliano “Il Garga” Gargani, opened the fine Italian restaurant Trattoria Garga on Via […]

The Best Food In Paris

The Best Food In Paris

  Yummy food in Paris: the Mazet sweet shop in the Marais District. This guest post was contributed by Jane Bertch.

Tuscan Cooking School

Tuscan Cooking School

It was a stroke of good luck that I met Marlane Miriello and heard about her Tuscan cooking school. The Italian-American was visiting with friends in San Diego who thought I might find her story interesting. Of course, I was – not just interested, but really interested. Marlane and I are both of Italian descent, and […]
