My top 5 favorite restaurants:
only 5? In no particular order, and subject to revision Giò - pievetta priola the essence of piedmont simple, infinitely varied, prepared with passion; Ginone via Serragli Florence pepposo and wild boar to die for; Trattoria Anna via Pisana Florence best home cooking away from home; Mario San Lorenzo market Florence best fiorentina t-bone; Atlantic Fast Food Coatbridge best fish 'n' chip shop in the world
My most tattered cookbooks:
the one memorized between my ears, more unhinged than tattered
