So many wonderful desserts and a lot of helpful information. Can's wait to go to Italy and try some of them.
Delightful tour of well known and not so well known sweets from Italy!
Absolutely great!
Francine Segan did terrific job with this tour --- well organized, illustrated, and presented. I have made several trips to Italy and love eating there. And, now I understand their desserts.
I enjoyed this Conversation so much that, right afterwards, I signed up for one Francine is doing next week on chocolate in Italy.
I had some questions on places to eat in Florence and how to buy Italian desserts here in States. Following her suggestion, I e-mailed these to Francine. She quickly responded with some great suggestions. Help that went above and beyond.
