The Secret of Tuscan Home-Cooking: Battuto

Instagram

We had some special guests visit Volterra this week! It began with Rick Steves running into our mayor in the early morning and telling him Volterra is definitely "my favorite Tuscan hill town"... after our stroll through town with his group of guides we got a sneak preview of the dig underway at Volterra's recently discovered amphitheater.
My sleeping beauty turned 14 today... I couldn't be prouder of the intelligent, empathetic person she has become, intolerant of injustice and the Defender of Difference, a voracious traveler, and my best friend. I love you Sophie and even if you make me go crazy every now and again I love you to the ends of the universe and back.
