If you're following along on my Anything's Pastable cookbook journey, you've already heard me eat my way across Italy as part of my research. And I hope you heard me say that I've teamed up with the great folks at Culinary Backstreets to create a food tour of Italy so that you can do the same!

Yes it's true -- sign up for this tour and you'll eat in many of the same places I ate, with many of the same people. Dine in Rome with cookbook author and food writer Katie Parla, cook in Lecce with Silvestro Silvestori at his Awaiting Table Cookery School, and eat the famed spaghetti all'assassina in Bari with ME!

It's all happening in November, check out the full itinerary and travel options. I hope to see you in Italy this fall!
