ALL IN THE FAMILY.
One of the most delightful outcomes of these pandemic months/years is that I have applied my skills/talents to a variety of fruitful projects to keep myself busy and earn wages—initially it was just to pay the bills!
Fortunately, they are all PASSION PROJECTS.
I’ve talked a bit about one of those special projects: our portable pizza oven - the collaborative project with A Man From Chianti. This “roving” pizza oven we call Chianti Moveable Pizza and our amazing team (including my decades-long colleague chef Andrea and his beautiful son, Luca) rocks out beautiful thin-crust pizzas made with ancient grain flour throughout the Tuscan countryside. Wineries like the lovely Querceto di Castellina, private villas and other foodie venues are digging this lovely moveable pizza party. All ingredients are super fresh (in season, of course!).
Meanwhile my 18-year old son, Mattia has recently gained other experiences in the hospitality/tourism world and I am proudly including him in my work teams these days...he’s also a trained/studied musician and currently studying philosophy at the University of Florence. (Yes, very proud mamma).
A true gem–this little (big) man, Mattia!
PS Just so you know, we haven't given up on other feastly projects like the TOURS! Carol’s Moveable Feast is still going strong and 2022 is going to be a winner!
