Culinary Diaries: Part 4

Click here to catch up on Parts 1, 2 and 3 of Pauline’s trip to Tuscany. TRUFFLE HUNTING We were in the middle of black truffle season and had a wonderfully unique opportunity to hunt for truffles with a hunting dog–what fun! I could not help but think what a beautiful job to have: a dog by your side as you stroll through the trees of an estate and watch as your dog seeks out truffles. We followed the dog as he put his nose to the ground. When he found the right spot, his master dug the earth with his

Culinary Diaries: Part 3 Lucca

LUCCA LUCCA LUCCA Lucca is a medieval walled city that we toured as locals by wandering through the narrow streets, taking note of spectacular churches and the grand piazzas. It was here we all splurged on buying leather goods and plenty of this and that!   All of the sudden, we noticed three hours passed without eating a bite of food! So, naturally, we headed straight for lunch at Trattoria Buralli where Chef Nilo, who is a well-known chef in town, served us typical Lucchesi cuisine. The meal was delightful thanks to our hosts Jason and Alessandra, who picked out

Valentine’s Musings From Pauline

Valentine’s Reflections and an Excerpt from “A Perfect Blend” For those of you who know me, you know I’m all about LOVE. So, I’m sharing my Valentine’s Day musings with you to celebrate this week. I love LOVE so much that when I write a blog, an email, a letter or a note, I always capitalize the word.   And this month, I’m using the word more than usual. Although it’s a bit of a commercial holiday, Valentine’s Day is important because it makes us remember to reach out and embrace those we LOVE. For that reason–and the chocolate, of

Spendid Communications

We have smaller teams working in the kitchen so that everyone is adequately spaced 6 feet apart per WHO guidelines. We have also implemented temperature scanning upon arrival to our kitchen and encourage our staff to stay home and use company-paid sick hours if they are not feeling well.

Our team wears gloves and masks while on the premises. They wash hands hourly at minimum and sanitize the kitchen frequently throughout each day using EPA-approved disinfectant for the fight against COVID-19.  

Our food has always been prepared on-site daily to ensure freshness and upmost safety standards. Ordering and payment are done through our website so that our guests can enjoy contactless curbside pick-up. 

Our new packaging includes meal seals to ensure the food and drink items have not been opened or tampered with during the pick-up or delivery process. 

If you have any other questions regarding our health and safety measures, please don’t hesitate to call or email us. We look forward to serving you.
