I can't believe I only have 2 weeks left in Italy! It's hard to believe how quickly this summer has gone by. Il Bottaccio gave me last night off so Marco and I headed to a pizzeria in the center of Massa. This trattoria sat us outside under a canopy lit with Christmas lights and lanterns. They served us such an incredible pie! Mine was covered in prosciutto crudo, stracciatella (a type of mozzarella), fresh tomatoes, and arugula. One of the best parts of being in Italy- it's socially acceptable (and pretty much expected) for you to order a single pizza and consume the entire thing by yourself. How could you not? The food is too good to leave a single bite! I already miss being here!
Every day I learn something new about food. From flavors to techniques, I find everything about the culinary world fascinating. That is why I have begun this blog. To share and record my experiences with food each and every day. It is just the beginning of my career and I have a long way to go to get where I want to be, so right now I'm learning everything I can and sharing it with you!

Dinner in Massa
