As the weather gets cooler over here, my mind has turned to soup. Autumn to me is all about seasonal zuppe filled with all the vegetables you can wrangle up from your courtyard garden… or the supermarket, I’m not fussed
I’ve sort of gone off Siena lately. I blame the people who call their babies after the city… or the over-the-top and endlessly gushy romantic comedies that have been filmed there.
