Florentine Foodie: Apple Pie, Italian-style
http://florentinefoodie.blogspot.com/2007/11/apple-pie-italian-style.html
The culinary, gastronomic, and other adventures of yet another American student studying abroad in Florence. Friday, November 2, 2007. Apple Pie, Italian-style. Skip the apples and make something else? Finally, I had to write the list of ingredients in Italian so that my host mother could go to the supermarket to purchase them. This is how it turned out:. 280 g burro, senza sale. 100 g zucchero bianco e 50 g zucchero di canna (o solamente 150 g zucchero bianco). 1 chilo delle mele verdi (7 o 8 mele).

The culinary, gastronomic, and other adventures of yet another American student studying abroad in Florence. Wednesday, November 14, 2007. An Ode to Pane. Mangio il pane tutti i giorni per la colazione, poi per il pranzo, e poi ancora una volta alla cena. I eat bread every day for breakfast, then for lunch, and then again at dinner.). Literally, "oven"). Indeed, bread, the sustenance of both the poor and the wealthy, is central to Italian cuisine and an integral part of everyday life in this country.

Florentine Foodie: Happy Thanksgiving/Giorno del Ringraziamento!

The culinary, gastronomic, and other adventures of yet another American student studying abroad in Florence. Sunday, November 25, 2007. Happy Thanksgiving/Giorno del Ringraziamento!

In this dish, sma...

The culinary, gastronomic, and other adventures of yet another American student studying abroad in Florence. Wednesday, May 14, 2008. Far too much time has passed since I last updated this blog, but now that I've been back in the U.S. for about as long as I was in Italy (4 months or so), I thought I should post some more pictures and reflections from my travels. During my time there, so I was able to eat whatever I pleased. Here is just a small sampling of the many sweets I consumed. And Baba al' Rum.
