Get to know Gaia
Typically when we see our friend Gaia on our Heart of Italy Tour, we spend our time together traipsing through the narrow side streets of her hometown, Florence, and weaving in and out of back-alley artisan shops and hole-in-the wall eateries. Now we can join Gaia as she leads us through many Italian recipes! Read more about Gaia’s story!
