Locorotondo Awesomeness

From left to right: Paola, Tamara, Devlin, Antonio
Our fabulous host, Antonio, in Locorotondo (Puglia region - southeastern Italy) spoiled us many times over with incredible meals and beverages! We drank local wine, sampled his homemade cognac and mirto (made from myrtle berries from a bush outside his home), and his mom made a fabulous dinner. Here are some highlights!

A dish cooked by his mom: pasta (a typical type from Puglia) with mushrooms!

This deserves a whole post, but for now just this picture:
cooking on the fireplace is very common and traditional, and so tasty!
A local dessert made by Antonio's mom: a wonderful puff pastry filled with a light cream
Another local liquor, made with infused herbs (tastes like Christmas!),
with Antonio's dad in the background (he has a great sense of humor! :)

Paola's fabulous risotto with saffron!
