Links I Love

These are the blogs and web sites that I visit from time to time for information and inspiration.

In the 1980’s,  Judy Witts Francini said Arrivederci California and moved to Italy. She teaches, writes, tours and cooks in Tuscany. I call her Diva because she is.

Eat Your Books

A search engine for your cookbooks, Eat Your Books saved my life.

Foodpairing

The brainchild of Belgian bio-engineer and ‘gastronomic scientist’ Bernard Lahousse, Foodpairing is based on the idea that foods with similar chemical makeup and fragrance profiles might combine well. It is a tool for professional chefs and bartenders looking for inspiration.
