The Tuscan Gun on People Magazine
The Tuscan Gun is coming
to life.
Debi and I hosted a lunch this past Sunday in our
home in Los Angeles. A few celebrity guess attended,
a lot of food was cooked and eaten, a lot of Chianti
bottles were opened and finished. It was truly a
happy celebration.
The piece will come out the 2nd or 3rd week on
January, and one of my best kept secret recipes will
be revealed: Pappa al Pomodoro. This Tuscan Peasant
Soup made of stale bread and tomatoes is one of those
dishes that look very easy on paper, but then you go
to the restaurant and you are always served something
different; usually it comes to you in form of tomato
soup with a slice of bread...with some garlic, if
you're lucky...how sad!
This is why, as soon as the article will come out,
Debi and I will cook this dish and post it as the
first episode of our second season.
Oh yes, we're done for
the moment. Deb is shooting this week, and in a few
days we will leave for Italy, where we finally enjoy
a few weeks of family life in the country. And again,
food and wine, lots of both.
We are already working on a shoot list for our trip,
as we want to acquire as much footage as we can, to
be featured next season on the show.
Thank you all for your incredible support! This
project started almost as a joke less then four
months ago, and the feedback is somewhat humbling.
Remember, it is not about being a chef, or thinking
that being a cook is less then being a chef...it is
about feeding!
So, these coming
holidays, feed your loved ones, fill them up, serve
good wine, make them smile. And come back to visit us
next year, we'll give you more of all of this!!!
Ciao,
Buon Natale and Buon Appetito

The Good Morning Email: What This World Needs More Of...
I live with three women and a toy poodle,
and even if I would rather ride a Ducati up on PCH...I always end up wearing some butterfly wings and chase my daughters around the house, or it might be a chick flick on the couch.
So, I fall for things like the email I just received, and That I'm going to post on this blog.
Relevance to the show: Zero.
Emotional Value: Immense.

I usually thrash every mass email I do receive...I do not forward my friends love emails...I spare them from the dilemma. Forward not Forward.
