Save L’Aquila!

Hi Everybody,

Been out of touch breaking…..

Continued promoting my cookbook Breaking Bread in L’Aquila and glad to be back!

I wanted to share an article about the state of the earthquake devastation of L’Aquila and the region of Abruzzo.

Please read this article and support me with the purchase of my book Breaking Bread in L’Aquila.

I was very honored in May when I was invited at Santo Stefano to present my book at Albergo Sextantio. The owner, Daniele Kihlgren restored the character of the village in Santo Stefano. I share the same passion as Kihlgren and look forward to seeing him in February!

a presto,

The net proceeds of this book will be donated to the restoration efforts of the earthquake of L’Aquila.

Sextantio Albergo Diffuso

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to share a video of Sextantio Albergo Diffuso, in Santo Stefano di Sessanio. Owner, Daniele Kihlgren and I share the passion of authenticity! I want to spread the word to everybody about the magical medieval experience last weekend when I shared my book “Breaking Bread in L’Aquila” in Santo Stefano di Sessanio on Saturday, May 18th.

Special thanks to the staff that runs Sextantio – never have I been surrounded by a group who are passionate about culture, home life and authenticity of keeping culinary tradition today!

Someone referred Sextantio Albergo Diffuso as a must do on one’s Bucket List. I agree ….. you won’t be disappointed! The perfect Cinderella experience for my European/Italy book launch!

I look forward to coming back for more! Complimenti !
