Italian Idyll

A few days in Northern Tuscany provided warmer temperatures, beautiful scenery, historic sights and a tummy full of delicious food. It would seem that the Italians get vegetarianism more than their French and Spanish neighbours.

I have enjoyed:- 

Tuscan Pappa al Pomodoro (tomato and bread soup), Minestrone soup, Tomato and Basil soup. 

Italian cheeses served with honey

Caprese Salad

Courgette Risotto

Potato Gnocchi with tomato sauce

Tiramisu and Gelato

Aperol Spritz was the aperitivo of choice followed by local rosato wine with dinner.

Aperol Spritz should be made in a highball or white wine glass.

Quarter fill with ice cubes adding a slice of orange

Add 3 parts Prosecco

+ 2 parts Aperol

+ 1 part Soda

Stir with a straw and sip blissfully
