Eating is an important part of life when you travel or live in Italy (as it is for a Norwegian bloglady to live her slow, simple life in her House in the Woods). The Italian kitchen......another passion of mine. Small restaurants along the canals in Venezia. Sitting down for a fish soup fpr lunch. Putting my sunglasses, my htc-desire toy, my camera and my diary on the small table only to watch the sunglasses falling into the canal. Luckily it was not my camera, not my cellphone, not my diary.
When I told Mauro about my minor misfortune he opened his cell phone to call a diver.........I stopped him :-)
Long mornings at the food markets.......dreaming of all the heavenly meals I would make if I lived in Italy.......collecting recipe for The Blue Cafe
First night in Venezia, pizza at Zattere. A tradition! Which I have become to love deeply!
Spaghetti vongole or frutti di mare with Mauro. Another passion!!!!
....and Mauro coming up with tips and ideas for my blog......"look at this waitress Britt, you must show her t-shirt in your blog"
Lunch along the Brenta Canal with Antonella. Eight different courses........
And then.....the best meal of them all.......prepared in Mauro's kitchen.......by Mauro the chef.......
Long hours of eating together with Mauro, Barbara and their kids.........
Yes, I have a passion for food.
And for people.
