Back in the Kitchen
I am back from my whirlwind of adventures in Italy! On my a little under 2 week vacation in Italy I visited Rome, The Vatican, Sorrento, Capri, Venice, Milan and Florence and I had a great time! In addition to having fun, I of course enjoyed a lot of good food! My favourite had to be the Italian style thin crust pizzas and I had more than a few of them while I was there. I also enjoyed a lot of good pastas and I gorged myself on gelato including a surprisingly tasty gorgonzola gelato.

For all of the Canadians reading this: I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving weekend! I have updated my sidebar to add some ideas for using those Thanksgiving leftovers. More to come on my Thanksgiving meal later on in the week.
Time to get cooking!
Does this recipe look tasty?

Hi! I love your blog. Wonderful pictures of Italy you have here. I'm Italian & right now I have Italian lessons on my blog. Feel free to stop by my blog if you are interested.
Italy is next on my quest to revisit. The last time I was there I was 18. I trust you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Kvin. There seems to be so much to be thankful for.
Welcome back!
Bentornato!!!!I love pizza too!
What beautiful Italy pictures!!
Look forward to tales of your adventure. Am planning a trip in the spring. The photos leave me in grand anticipation.
I love Italy! Hopefully you had a wonderful time1 I wish I could go there twice a year! Welcome back!
I'm looking forward to learning what you learned!
Can't wait to see how the trip has influenced your cooking!
So jealous - cannot wait to go to Europe and EAT. I'm an avid photographer as well, so it'll be a packed trip of the senses for me when I go.
Hello Kevin,
I started following your blog recently and really like the precision with which you whip up some great dishes..
The photos speak a lot about the wonderful time in Italy..
Hope you had a great time!

I've been following your blog for awhile now and for the first time decided to leave a comment! First off, I love your blog and secondly, your pics of Italy are great!
Welcome back!
Glad you had a great time in Italy. My husband and I went there 3 years ago (to all of the towns you went to) and adored it! Capri, Positano and Florence were our favourites. I made your Cheesy Mushroom dip over the Thanksgiving weekend and it got rave reviews.
welcome back! i'm looking forward to seeing your new recipes :)

Welcome home! I have missed seeing your beautiful photos on my blog roll. Can't wait to see what will pop up when you begin cooking and sharing your recipes. Your pictures of your travels were lovely, thank you for sharing.
Welcome back! Hope you'll share some of the pizza ideas with us.
Welcome home, Kevin! I LOVE your Italy pictures. :-) You brought back beautiful memories of my visits there. :-)
I've just discover your blog and I love it!
welcome back!
I'm happy for you...
The pictures from your trip look so nice!
Hi Kevin! Welcome back! My husband and I spent some time in Greece & Italy this past summer and it was incredible! I was wondering...have you considered cooking Pastitso? I love your recipes and I would love to see Pastitso on your blog!
Welcome back! Looks like you had a great time.
I used to live in Europe and would visit Italy as much as possible. LOVE your photo gallery on Flickr... it brought back a flood of great memories. Thank you!
So I am in total LOVE with your blog.
Thank you for being a blog inspiration.
Cheers!

Gorgeous and tasty! I'm absolutely jealous of your trip.
Welcome back, your Italy pictures look fantastic and I am very jealous of your camera - I have a 20D and love it but I imagine the 7D is a whole other level :-)
Diana: I made a green pastitsio a while ago and really enjoyed it. A more traditional version of pastitsio is definitely on my list as well!
Your pictures are incredible. Makes me want to go back PRONTO.
Kevin, you inspire me! Both to get into the kitchen and cook and to see more of the world, its people, and eat its fabulous food. Italy is my dream trip. Being Greek-American, I also love seeing your take on the classic recipes. Keep up the great work.
