Our own Chef Norman spent some of Costa Rica’s green season traveling throughout Italy, taking in the sights, smells, and tastes of three influential Italian regions. He was inspired to check in with us about his travels. In his own words, here’s what he has to say (our best English translation to follow).
observar frente la costa del Mar Jonico, en pleno Mediterraneo: un gelato de naranja con canela en pleno oto,o, saborear el gusto de un buen digestivo luego de cada comida; sentir los sabores de la Ciudad Eterna, vibrante y espectacular, Roma, esa Roma que te emerge en cada calle que cruzas y te cautiva el paladar en cada rincon; perderse entre los canales de “La Serenissima” y dejarse llevar en el tiempo….. tres regiones italianas… el paladar vuela…..
