Autumn

Florentine panino al lampredotto and a guest post


After more than a year of Twitter, Facebook and obviously blog friendship, finally this Autumn I’ll meet Asha during her holidays in Europe: yet to decide when and where exactly, but since we’ll be sharing the same continent for a while, we’ll definitely have the chance to meet. I’m so excited, because it will be like meeting an old friend, but for the first time!

I’m proud to be in such a great company to celebrate Asha’s blog anniversary, three years of mouthwatering recipes, vivid photos and – more important – three years of honest and contagious love for food. If you still don’t know Asha’s blog, Fork Spoon Knife, it’s time to pay her a visit and enjoy her street food series to celebrate her three year blog anniversary! I asked Asha to contribute to her street food series with one of our typical street food, the Florentine panino al lampredotto. I felt brave enough to introduce offal into the street food parade! Follow me at Asha’s to read the recipe.
