i adore italian food. creamy risottos, rich tiramisu, freshly baked bread… i love the way italian cuisine feels indulgent but comforting, like a hug on a plate. and i can't forget about french pastries. delicate and precise. croissants that flake perfectly, tarte tatin that’s sticky-sweet with caramelized elegance. i love the kind of food that makes you pause and savor.
