A lovely, newsy letter. Thank you! I did your pasta, blue cheese, radicchio thing. Excellent and even the little leftovers next day, so yum. Magical. Like you, I love Venice in the winter months. A most romantic place to be then. When I worked in North Africa, that was my 'go to place' for winter getaways : )
I very much like your connections to Italy for us as we await a best time to return.
Sophie took us to Beppe e i suoi formaggi in December on our fabulous food tour of Rome! It was fantastic and we were able to bring home some of his Gallina cheese (we're not sharing with anybody). Even though we've been to Rome a number of times, Sophie introduced us to new places and we can't wait to re-visit them!
Hi Elizabeth -- Unforgotten was unforgettable! I think you'll like Helen M in The Good Liar -- lots of fun. You may like a new book called "Still Life" by Sarah Winman, a complex and joyful love story set in Italy. I loved it. Happy February
Wow! I know who you are (by reputation) and thank you for introducing yourself! What a wonderful book. I hope Elizabeth will give it a try. It was a lovely story and a sensual pleasure.
Even though Southern California has its own share of sunshine and blue skies, your newsletter - and especially your Instagram - has me connecting to a part of the world that I've never visited. One day...until then, your version of Italy is just lovely!
Beautiful blue skies! We have a brief 2-days of cold sunshine in Washington and then another winter storm sweeps in for the weekend... enjoy those blue skies!!

Glad to hear you liked the pasta recipe! And hopefully you'll be back here soon.

Yes, the Giallina makes the perfect thing to bring home. It also makes a great gift so next time you might share it. ;)

We watched The Good Liar this weekend. LOVED it!
I was the "Florence/food consultant" for Still Life! It was such a pleasure to be part of, I love it.

I hope so too! :)

Thank you!!
For the very first time, I sauntered slowly through your newsletter. I'm mesmerized! By the photos, the recipes, the ideas for travel, the everything!
So happy to hear that!!!

Believe me, I am enjoying them for everyone who can't be here!
Thanks for the shout out Elizabeth! I love this Venice itinerary too. The polpette at Vedova, a must!
Your newsletter is a treat! I agree. Anything with Helen Mirren is a must see.
The fandom is mutual Elizabeth! Thanks for the shout-out. Really wish I was in Rome.
Let's start planning.....
