Although my professional pen name is C. De Melo, my friends call me Christine. I am the one and only, the original, the REAL Florence Insider. If you are planning a visit to Florence (or just LOVE this amazing city) please visit my website: http://www.florenceinsider.com/

My husband often calls me the Kitchen Witch and this food blog is dedicated to all the food lovers out there who love to cook and eat well.

For over a decade, I have been putting my Art History degree from UMASS Dartmouth to good use by researching, writing, and doing museum tours in Italy. In April 2010 I was hired as a gourmet food guide for the best food tour company in Florence: Taste Florence. I also hold certification as a first level sommelier in Tuscany (il Santuccio- Firenze). 

I LOVE to travel and experience different places, different cultures and different foods, so stay tuned for great recipes, restaurant reviews and food articles. Follow me on HubPages!!

REMEMBER: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!! Your diet affects your health and your outward appearance, so choose wisely. 

xoxo, C

PS: Since my husband and I belong to the Foto Club in Firenze, we love taking photographs. I took 99% of all the photos in my hubs :)
