Twelve years ago I moved to Florence and fell in love -- first with the city, and then with a local. Living in Tuscany during this time has taught me something about Italian cuisine -- that it doesn't really exist; rather, there are twenty regional cuisines and thousands of provincial cuisines. I started this blog in December 2010, as a way to document my passion for Tuscan food traditions, a place to share travel stories and the anecdotes, techniques and history behind regional recipes. I have written two cookbooks about real Tuscan food, "Florentine" and "Acquacotta."
