FOOD BLOGGER: Taste Bologna

Wake up in the morning with daylight hitting San Petronio Basilica. Make breakfast with eggs and strawberry picked from a vegetable garden of a Villa. Come back at night to enjoy the paintings of an Iranian artist.These are a few things you can do by choosing one of my 10 best Airbnb in Bologna. Cosy Continua a leggere..

After an hard selection, these are the best foods I had in 2017 and where to find them.  Blackberry sorbet@Mrizi i Zanave, Lezhë - Albania The name of Altin Prenga won’t tell you much probably. This young chef is one of the brothers who own Mrizi i Zanave (literally “fairies’ shadows”, from the novel of local Continua a leggere..

From Albania to Iran, from Portugal and Sicily to Bologna. These are the best foods I had in 2017 and where to find them.  1.

A list of 5 objects that you can order online for those who love Bologna. Like for my 5 best souvenirs from Bologna these aren’t payed recommendations.

In a few months everybody in Bologna will talk about FICO – Eatalyword. The huge food park is opening this Autumn and the hype is growing. I had the chance to visit the work in progress so, like an original umarell (the old bolognese men who like to watch construction sites), I took a walk inside Continua a leggere..
