Today’s episode is quite special. We recorded it a few days ago at the St. Mark Cultural Association for Florence Writers, where Tessa Kiros and I had a conversation with David Orr about cooking and writing.
Tessa Kiros is the author of ten cookery books and an avid traveller, but, for me, she is one of the most inspiring writers, a friend and a neighbor.

You can find Tessa on her website: http://tessakiros.com or on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tessakiros/
