It was as if it was divine intervention. We finally found morcilla (see picture of sausages below - it’s the black one) in a specialty store up the block but we weren’t prepared to make a fabada or cocido - two other Spanish dishes which call for morcilla. I picked up one of my […]

When we were in Florence this past July we had one of the most memorable meals of our life. The simplicity of the dishes, the gruff, “don’t ask too many questions cause everything is good here” service and the down-home ambiance (mama in the corner, the owner is the host, the server and one of […]
