The other day I have seen a great video over at Acorn in My Kitchen’s blog, about Italy, one of my all time favorite countries (you would never guess, I know 🙂 ) and it made me think about my top-10 favorite things in Italy.

Italy Road Trip 2013 – Food Supply!
We spent a wonderful week in Italy recently and as always before a long trip on the road, we have prepared our own “food supply”.

Mini Pizzas with Anchovies and Capers
This is nothing but a variation of the other day’s mini pizzas, but instead of ham I have topped the bread pieces with capers and anchovies. Delightful!

Italy Road Trip: Food Supply
We’ve been to Italy this summer and decided to go by car. Now you can think oh that is great, not too far and all, however this short enough (apx. 1000 km ~620 miles) trip can turn into a real nightmare if you get stuck in traffic due to accidents, rush hour, toll payment gates or any … Continue reading
