Thanks a lot. I’m having so much fun here in Bari :-) Do you have any favourite dishes that I haven’t done yet? I’m always looking for new recipes to try.

I’ll definitely check out your blog

Ciao

I had my friend check out your site. She knows how much I love Alberobello and always bring her back a souvenior, un pensiero, from there.
Mio cognato si ha affitato un trullo per noi a Locorotondo. Clearly, Ostuni is also a place of which I have very many fond memories.

I placed your site as a link on my blogroll at my site. Risotto al carcioffi is also a favorite.

Are you Italian? A Student? How did you choose Bari? My nephew’s both go to the University in Bari, their last name is Aversa.

Yes, Ostuni is beautiful, I bet the hills kept you fit though :-)

Also the trulli are amazing, but it’s very touristy around Alberobello now. Every second trullo seems to be a souvenir shop!

I’ll have to dig out some more artichoke recipes, you seem to love them as much as I do

Ciao

PS I’ve just got around to sorting out my blodroll. I’ve added you site under the food links category
