There was no baking for me in September 2013 as I was lucky enough to be accepted for a funded archaeology placement in Tuscany. The weather was beautiful and the food was gorgeous. We had fresh seafood in a restaurant located on a hilltop in Porto Santo Stefano, sea bass barbecued with pesto rubbed in, so much pasta that we began to resemble a piece of farfalle and of course fantastic cakes. As we were there for 5 weeks, there's too much to write in one blog post so I've decided just to share some pictures with you all. Enjoy!
This is just some of the team I working with out in Tuscany. Most of us were recent graduates from UK universities. We learned a lot but had loads of fun too.
Of course we had to try wine while we were out there.

One of the many barbecues we had at the agriturismo (farm house).
Our leaving party with the lovely members of staff from Etruria Nova Onlus.
Playing the 'Hydration Game' so named because we used water rather than alcohol.
Homemade nutella cheesecake.
If you like strong drinks, try an Aperol Spritz. Small drink but it definitely packs a punch.
Honestly the best pizza place in Rome. It's only one street away from Termini train station. We stopped in there for a quick bite of lunch and it was way more delicious than we were expecting.
