I'm a Texan (living in Houston) who married a wonderful Italian! Apparentlly there are more than one or two... Anyway. The best food I have ever eaten was a risotto with fresh and dried porcini, prepared by a teenager at a little guest house in Gandria. Fabulous stuff, which I have been trying to recreate ever since. I'll add you to my list of blogs, if you don't mind. Kinda new to blogging but it's a great way to connect to the big wide world. Ciao!

Ditto, Stacy! The porcini risotto is amazing. Now, Nadine, I am not an expert on mushrooms, but I think porcini and portabellos are similiar. They seem to be to me, anyway! You might not like this restaurant, then, Rhea. Almost every dish has some kind of mushroom! Oh, thanks for the update on the giro, Sally!! That fresh porcini salad sounds delish! I should try to make that sometime. I bet most things are cheaper here (even in Rome) than they were in LA, huh, Arlene? Oh, Lulu, you need to come back to Calabria and try these!
