Few regions of the world evoke such emotional reactions for so many cultural elements as Tuscany.  While many might quickly think about the stunning landscape, architecture and art – we think about the food and wine!   Kate and Jack recently found themselves in Florence for a week — what better time to share stories while the memories are still fresh?

Tuscany is famous for SO MANY culinary elements that a meal with five courses and five wines is only a start, but we gave it a go thanks to the culinary mastery of Kate Romane and Black Radish Kitchen!
