30 Days of Tuscany- Day 5- ITALIAN FOOD!
The food in Italy is incomparable and there is always lots of it! In Tuscany, the food is made from simple ingredients, but they are always fresh and in season. We never worry about counting calories at all. In fact, I get emails after workshops and tours from folks who are delighted that they did not gain weight during the one to two week food fest that is a big part of our fun in Tuscany. I'm convinced it is because of all the walking we do, discovering the best spots to photograph the beauty of Tuscany.
