Tanta robina
What is Tanta robina?
Well, depending on which party of Italy you are in, it can mean "lots of stuff" or "good stuff", especially "yummy food".
Last time I was in Italy, I went to Maremma with Ben and a couple of friends and loved how the locals used the expression tanta robina to mean "yummy things". So, it seemed like the perfect name for my food blog as I plan to talk about lots of things and all related to food.
I hope some of you will keep me company in this food adventure. Tanta robina will document my year in culinary school and serve as a notebook for my thoughts on food and anything related to cooking and eating.
Please bear with me while I solve the initial glitches of using new blogging software and refining my initial layout.
And Happy St. Patrik's Day to you all! (Believe it or not, I am partially Irish)

Oh, I'd assumed you'd named the blog after a favourite auntie called Robina! (And was fully expecting my nieces to start up an Auntie Rosie blog forthwith, ahem). One of the funniest things I saw yesterday was a picture of an Austrian friend taking part in a St Patrick's Day Parade in Singapore.
