in the beginning...

so here i am. never thought that i'd enter this cyber world of blogging, but after watching "julie&julia" (a movie i really think any foodie would love) i thought it might be fun to try and recreate that, but tailor it to me :)

i am a self-prophesed "canadian by birth, but italian by heart". i've travelled there 3 times in the past 4 years and have fallen deeper and deeper in love with the people, the culture and the food with each trip. i'm also a full-time university student that doesn't know what her next step is going to be. so, with my final year in front of me and a blank canvas for a future, i figure i'll start with what i love: europe. and more specifically: ITALY.

with beginner's italian by my side, andrea bocelli in my ears and a good red wine in hand, i'm going to take "Essentials of Italian Cooking" (by Marcella Hazan, the italian equivalent of Julia Child) and cook it all before the end of the school year - and without breaking the bank! wish me luck!

ciao ciao!!
