Today I woke a little depressed. 3 years ago to the day we were in Italy! Bon Journo!! What a wonderful experience it was and I was just reminded of it after reading a blog from one of my favourites what katie ate and her recent visit to Europe. So I thought I'd share a picture or two. We were lucky to stay with my cousin who was living in Belgium with his wife, what an amazing experience they gave us with insider knowledge. 5 food filled weeks we had all up 2 weeks in Belgium, 2 weeks in Italy, a day in Paris and 3 days in Luxemberg which was a little gem thrown in at the end. I was so excited about Italy as it has always been a dream of mine, but was surprised at how beautiful and underrated Belgium is. I'd go back in a heartbeat. There are too many stories, too many delicious meals to share but hopefully one day I will get back to Europe to explore some more.

| The castle we stayed in was also a winery in Grieve, Tuscany |
 |
A cooking day with Fabio. Here we are making gnocchi,
they were the softest clouds you could imagine |
 |
| Now thats a deli |
 |
| rolling hills of tuscany |
 |
| the view from our villa in Trevi, Umbria...I fell in love with this town |
 |
| Velvety spaghetti pesto |
 |
| the cobbled streets of Trevi |
 |
We shopped at the local markets and made dinner most
nights as restaurants didn't open til 8pm, too late for us and our bambino |
 |
| A lunch in Paris, with the Eiffel Tower as our view. French onion soup on the left and goats cheese on potato rosti on the right |
 |
| couldn't go all the way to Paris without trying the snails, slippery suckers |
 |
| Brussels centre....so beautiful |
 |
| The produce at the Waterloo market in Belgium would make your heart melt |
 |
| They are very serious about their beers in Belgium |
I'm still living on the memories everyday......
Ciao, Jan
