To feel inspired is such a beautiful thing. It's like the first breath of fresh air after a rain. Joyce and I are back in the states now but we have brought with us the inspiration we felt while at Vicarello. We are both practicing what we learned and loving it!! Joyce made a lettuce tart from the book, and I made my first real bread among other things. I highly recommend "The Tuscan Kitchen" to all. It is easy to understand and the recipes are delicious!
