Ah, noting Gilda's suggestion. That's simple & obvious and I'd never thought of it. Very helpful!

Thank you Frances for these wonderful recipes from some amazing chefs. I will happily try them! I had the pleasure of dining at il Falconiere this past May, and I highly recommend to anyone in the area. Truly an enchanting place and an incredible dining experience with such attention to detail…Bravo Sylvia! Happy to hear you are healed, enjoy the bounties of the season 🥰

Thought this might be of interest if you happen to be in San Francisco.

Whilst I can't be back in Tuscany, I can dream, thanks to this beautiful writing.

Thank you for sharing Frances, I must try the Gorgonzola with my chicken. I love Cortona. Was there last week, even wrote on it and how could I not mention you and your book/movie. See my newsletter : https://tinomasecchia.substack.com/p/beyond-the-tuscan-sun?r=475tcl&utm_medium=ios

A little slice of Heaven! Thanks so much, Frances. As always, my heart yearns for Tuscany, where I spent six of the happiest years of my life living in Florence. xo

I've added all these to make next week. My mouth is watering!

This is a beautiful invitation to the season. The image of the involtini simmering and the crunch of those roasted vegetables with breadcrumbs makes me want to set a long table immediately. I love your evocative warmth, thank you!

Glad to hear you are recovered, sounds like a great time for you and your friends, that table looks great with the evening sky. Thanks for the recipes. I follow Silva on instagram. Glad the cookies tasted great, that is the main part.❤️❤️🐾🐾

For us, in addition to the rounds of summer dinners on the patio by the pond or in the dining room, there is an endless cycle of people stopping by to sit on our front porch and pass the time with us. Love these slow, Southern, summer days and evenings!

We close on our home in Cortona in July, I can’t wait for our first summer night dinner in town ❤️
