Snapshots from Italy: Artisan Gelato at Bologna's Cremeria Funivia
this is a strange coincidence: i'm spending the semester studying in bologna and i just tried cremeria funivia for the first time yesterday! i agree that it is delicious gelato, and the flavors are quite creative. I had the amarenata and the tortino funivia, which created an intensely flavorful combination of nutty chocolate and tart cherry - pretty perfect. and the fact that you can eat your gelato in piazza cavour is a huge bonus. however: the best gelato in bologna is, to me, gelatauro on via san vitale. their gelato is transcendental, as are their pastries and their espresso drinks and pretty much everything else that comes out of that magical kitchen. gelatauro is closed on mondays, so that's a good day to take advantage of the other gelato places in bologna, like this one. Castiglione is pretty good, too, but don't waste your time with Gianni. Buon appetito!

I'm a diehard Stonewall Kitchen fan, so I'm all for them. I've tried the coconut cupcakes. They were delicious. Wicked pricy, but I'd say it was worth it.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters
breakfast? in new york? that would have to be a danish and coffee, to be eaten while standing outside of tiffany's and wearing a fantastic black dress.

Cook the Book: 'Beard on Food'
My mom because she taught me about good food as a way of life, Julia Child because she was amazing and 6'2, and Nigella Lawson because she makes cooking fantastically sexy.
If you could have any chef cook you dinner, who would it be?
Julia Child, no question.
where to eat out in boston?
Please do yourself a favor and go to the Flour Bakery and Cafe. And explore the North End for amazing Italian.
