Trip

When the weather gets dreary and unpredictable like this, my mind goes back to Italy. A few summers ago, my friend Bianca (of Italian Fix) and I took a blissful two weeks wandering through Sardinia. I had been once before for a short trip and fell in love with the relaxed style. If you avoid the resort areas, it’s like going back in time.

Seasonal, vegetarian, farmer’s market–driven cooking lessons taught by a personal chef in Riomaggore, one of the picturesque towns of Cinque Terre, Italy, overlooking a never–ending clear blue ocean? Si, grazie! Tim McDiarmid led myself and a few other eager “mangionas” (Italian for “eaters”) in an unbelievable culinary class last week.
