As usual, at the end of every December it’s report time!
I think about all the lovely experiences I shared with you: lots of journeys, incredible trips, fun visits, tastings…
And as I thought about my food and wine tours - where I discovered the best of the territory and new recipes to share with you – I decided to make a list of the dishes that I liked most and that stayed in my memory; I’ve been very lucky to taste such incredible flavours and delicacies.
In 2016 I was lucky to experience many tasting events and dinners, not only in Trieste, but all over the Region of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, as well as the special cusine of Slovenia and Austria…
My favourite dishes are not in any order; they don’t have a ranking! It’s all purposefully casual!
The dishes are 16 … are you ready for a brief tour?
Here are the photographs of my favourite dishes.
1 - Nero di seppia: as well as their gilthead bream, the dish I suggest you try is: the best fish fry in the Gulf of Trieste.
