I'm excited to learn about the hidden places of wonder outside of Venice. I loved Venice so much when I was there last December but it wasn't long enough. Will be planning my return with your intel!

Thank you my dear, it means a lot! How did you like Venice in December? I have a couple of IG friends who often visit around that time of the year.

Glad to hear you're feeling better.

I'll be sure to virtually toast your good health when I sip the weekend's first (actual) negroni in an hour or so. Cin-cin!🥂

So good to hear from you again! I was going through some of your old posts a few weeks ago and you inspired me to cook slightly differently. I’ve gotten over my fear of traditional Italian cooking styles and made myself a lovely simple pasta dish just an hour before you sent this email. Other than adding a bit too much salt, it was lovely. You inspire us to eat well. So glad you are feeling better.

Hello Charis, thank you for your lovely comment, it made my day (evening now). I love that you've been experimenting with Italian cuisine, and really, simplicity is at its heart so no need to be intimidated. A simple, juicy pasta sounds delicious, just make sure to balance the salt in the cooking water and the sauce and you should be good to go :) keep me posted! big hugs xx
