The blog of San Lorenzo

This is a great period for celebrations. Halloween is at our doorsteps (having a little daughter means that I am heavily involved in the preparations, costumes, sweet bucket and all); soon enough most offices will start talking about Christmas parties and finally Christmas and New Year will arrive in no time.

So, you would think there is no need to make things worse by organising a BLOGGERS GET TOGETHER.

But indeed, this is exactly what I am thinking of doing.

As you know, I am hosted by the San Lorenzo web-site thanks to my friend Antonio Tombolini. The deal is that I get provisions of San Lorenzo goodies, which I am free to eat and write about in the blog, if I choose to. All very exciting! I am discovering the world of food blogging and I am loving it! I was getting enough thrills by writing and reading new entries in the web, until I decided to participate to my first EBBP. Packing food for another blogger  (Dagmar) and seeing the results of my efforts appreciated has given me such a great vibe, that I am know hungry for more action or, better, real life interaction with the members of the food tribe.

I am a big fan of science fiction, by the way. Almost every day of my busy life I wish I had a Star Trek style beam transporter  in my house. This way I could be very inclusive and invite the whole bloggers world. At present I will have to limit my invitation to whoever manages to be in London on the chosen date, which is still to be defined (suggestions?), but it should be around the week commenicing November 6th.

So, who wants to join in?

Here are the main guidelines:

- I want to make it a sort of regular event, once every two or three months, like a foody club get together, open to all the food/wine bloggers (and invited guests);

- Every event will have a regional Italian theme, but quirky twists or multi-etnic fusion elements are going to be welcome;

- It will have the format of a gourmet dinner in pure Italian (informal) style (something that good old Jamie Oliver would like, if you get the idea) and the participants will only pay a reasonable contributions towards expenses, while my friends at San Lorenzo will provide the core of the products that will be used and sponsor the location.

- The first night will be a blend of two great neighbouring culinary traditions in Italy (Liguria and Piedmont), because I have already in mind a list of great Autumn food we can create using the produce of these beautiful and challenging regions.

Have I managed to tempt somebody? I have already the green light from Antonio, all I need is your (hopefully) enthusiastic reply. Don’t be shy and let me know.

Remember Horace and his seize the moment!
