Over the Tuscan Stove
Author
Came to Europe in 9184, with a one way ticket and $2,000.
Here I am! Five previous trips convinced me I was meant to live in Europe.... just didn't know where.
Italy captured my heart! I met my Italian a year after moving to Florence. Time Flies, next year is 25 years!
I have been teaching cooking for the past 20 and now am delving into writing.
