Cacio e Pepe, my way
Cacio e Pepe, like its quick-and-easy pasta cousins Amatriciana and Carbonara, feels defiantly simple. And it is! But it’s also, well, exacting. And it’s Italian, so naturally, there is ample debate about what makes for an authentic recipe. Forget all that!
Deep Dive: The Furlane
A look at the furlane! Sure it’s on-trend, but with its comfort, wearability, historical significance, and yes, cuteness, it’s also a new classic. (The espadrille never saw it coming.)
Souvenirs #7
Everybody's journaling; the Wirkin; and some pics from my week. Plus, a bagillion links to dive into.
