This weekend two culinary icons celebrated birthdays. Julia Child would have been 103 years old; Karl Fazer, age 149. Karl who, you say? Ask a Finn!

Weekend Birthdays in the Culinary World

Missing Finland…
Having returned from an epic family trip to Finland just a few days ago, I am waking up each morning thinking of having coffee with our Finnish family.

Italy, Part 6 and Final: Tuscany
Castello d’Albola was built in the 15th century and is one of the masterpieces of Tuscany. This castle was our final stop of the tour.

Italy, Part 5: Sicily
Feudo Principi di Butera is an estate that once belonged to royal families, even Sicily’s first prince. It is indeed still a noble place, and my favorite.

Italy, Part 4: Sicily
There is no place on earth like Sicily.

Italy Part 3: Masseria Altemura
Our trip to Zonin’s estate Masseria Altemura was to celebrate their inauguration. It was a grand party in every way!

Italy: Lecce, Part 2
Day 2 in Lecce brings dinner in a dazzling 16th century castle built around a 12th century Norman tower.

Italy: Five Days in Paradise
Come with me on a trip to Italy. My blogs for the next two weeks will be about a life-changing visit to Southern Italy.
