From creamy pesto with a surprising twist to rich and earthy ratatouille, and a street food perfect for a hike or picnic, I’m eating my way along the French and Italian Riviera to find the region’s most unforgettable dishes.
Join me as I explore the food scene of the Italian and French Riviera, tasting iconic local dishes, unexpected flavors, and even a spicy African dish you wouldn’t expect to find here. Along the way, I also try a unique local drink named after a farm animal 🐐🍷
