    Postcard from Amalfi

    Postcard from Amalfi

    Laura Thayer is living a life most of us could only dream of.

    An American by birth, Laura is a travel writer based on Italy's Amalfi Coast.
     
    In this postcard, Laura shows us around her Amalfi, a place that won her heart in 2007. She shares everything from her favourite beach, to where to buy the best pastries, how to get around to avoid the traffic and some surprising history about Amalfi. 
     
    As you'd expect from a guidebook writer, this postcard is rich with expert tips, so if you're planning a trip to this beautiful part of Italy, you'll definitely want to listen to this first.

    • What are best practices for marbling beef and why that's important.
    • Did you know that Wilkes is the largest corn producing county in the state? BTW, the cows love it!
    • Amalfi's of Wilkesboro- taught us how to balance what a chef wants to cook (fresh seafood/Napoli cuisine) vs what the guests want/ expect (central Italian cuisine)
    • The best way to cook Octopus
    • Why an Italian immigrant who happens to be a talented chef, ended up in Wilkes County.
