Travel by mouth through many of Italy's regions this week. Crabs in Venice, food travel in Sicily, pasta in Basilicata, pork in Abruzzo, wine in Naples, slow food & slow living in Piedmont, summer wine festivals in Tuscany, and a grape in Puglia.
Between a lot of eating and adjusting to the time change, I've just now got myself on a regular routine. I have many food tales to tell. In the coming days be sure to come back here to read about Dining in Rome with Tavole Romane, my gelato crawl in Rome, A Perfect Day in Napoli (yes, pizza, sfogliatelle and gelato are included in the day), the Wine Fest in Naples, a remarkable dining experience high atop the Amalfi Coast in Ravello (a giveaway is included in this post), Delizie al Limone in Amalfi, and a little about the people we'll meet on the culinary tour in Puglia. By the way, there are a few spaces left for the delicious Food & Wine Lover's Culinary Tour in Puglia. Make sure you're part of the fun and book by May 30th to receive $200 off. Enjoy & Buon Appetito!
