My Roman friend's name is Lavinia, which means "Mother of the Italian Race." She is all that and more: Extraordinarily brilliant, funny, passionate, incisive and loves above all things, to dance. I have supped at her table many nights; she is an indulgent cook and friend. If you happen into her circle of light, you will be blessed. I joined Lavinia and her mother for breakfast one morning and captured the elegance of her table in the photo above.
We were in Rome today at the studio and I thought of these two beautiful Italian women. I want to cook for them someday soon and return the blessings they have bestowed on me...
