Dear Jeff,
I have been a fan for many years.
My Mother and I faithfully watched your shows as long as our local PBS
station had them on their broadcast schedule, and we had
gifted one another with many of your
books. Mom is gone now, and still I smile when I come across a recipe
in her collection with a note (the Frugal Gourmet says...).
While searching for kitchen items
to purchase as gifts, I came across this web site. How wonderful
to see your friendly face once again!
Recently I had the pleasure of spending
three glorious weeks in Italy. Rome, Florence, Pisa, Torino to visit
with relatives, and Venice. Long before our trip, I re-read your
Cooks Italian book, and made notes
of places to visit, foods to try, wines to sip. More than once my
traveling companion would compliment me on our selection, and I had
to pass the thanks on to your suggestions.
I most loved the cuisine of Florence
and Torino. Truffles are absolutely heavenly, and many of the peasant
dishes we sampled in Torino were reminiscent of those made
by my Nonna.
I hope you are well. I miss
you dear friend.
Best Regards,
Cindy G
