My final semester of school will be spent traveling to Italy where I will be studying regional cuisine spending four to five days a week immersed in flour, savoring the regions best olive oil and wafting wine with dinner. Follow me through my blog (Blog Italia on Thegarnishedpalate.com) as I post my tour of life in Puglia and my weekend travels. As I wander about Europe I will be taking notes not just of cuisine, but social life and attractions trying to capture every small detail of what may seem like a world far away from here. And whats more, all the pasta that I can get my hands on!
