A Food Lover's Guide to Florence...and Tagliatelle with Chanterelles

I was recently asked, for the umpteenth time, for some dining recommendations for a friend traveling to Florence. Wondering why I hadn't done this sooner, I decided to put everything into a comprehensive online guide -- accessible to everyone! So here you have it, my guide to eating, drinking, and food-related activities in my beloved Firenze.

I also have a super-quick and easy recipe for fresh tagliatelle with fresh chanterelle mushrooms, which are in the middle of their short annual season. You can have this flavorful dish on the table in just about 30 minutes!

Finally, I wanted to note that About has made many changes to the newsletter and e-mail systems over the past few months.
