🎉 Verona Carvival: Italy’s oldest carnival celebration & what makes it so unique (gnocchi, for one!)
The Joy of Gnocchi! + recipes 🤤
As you read this letter newsletter, I'll be in the skies flying back to the United States for a 10 day food and family focused trip.
I don't get to see my sisters, nieces and nephews, and gang of relatives much so that will be pure joy.
And then, of course, everything in my life is always interspersed with great food, usually Italian. I'm running a pasta focused cooking course, then staying with my friend Michele Di Pietro - @MangiawithMichele - who is a total pleasure to cook with, and podcast with, and we’ll be doing lots of both.
Did you catch my podcast episode this week all about Carnival festivities in Verona? If you missed it listen here now:
Such a fun episode with my friend and go-to Italian wine expert, Cynthia Chaplin - @kiss_my_glassx. Cynthia lives in Verona where she works on independent wine projects, and collaborates with Vinitaly International based in Verona.
When you think of Verona, it's probably about Romeo and Juliet, where you can visit Juliet's balcony.
