The Food Hunter Explores Praiano

Earlier this month, The Food Hunter from the Food Hunter’s Guide to Cuisine was on vacation here on the Amalfi Coast. The home base for  their stay was the town of Praiano, just east of Positano. Praiano is a great choice for visiting the Amalfi Coast if you’re looking for a small hotel or apartment to rent, because it is small town that is relatively free of the tourist feel of the more popular destinations. I love it when fellow bloggers visit this area, because I get to see and hear about their vacations on the Amalfi Coast. In the case of the Food Hunter, it was an especially tasty treat, as they shared about their shopping and cooking adventures during their stay. Head on over to the Food Hunter’s Guide to Cuisine to read about Cooking in Praiano Highlights and their daily walks to the market at Cooking and Climbing in Praiano. I love the videos!

While you’re there, don’t miss the post on their Sorrento Cheese Factory Tour about visiting Caseificio Michelangelo. I know where I want to visit now to learn more about the process of making the cheeses the Campania regions is so famous for, including mozzarella, provolone, ricotta and more. Many thanks to the Food Hunter for sharing memories and stories from your vacation on the Amalfi Coast. Come back again soon!

    Ciao Chuck! I agree … that tray of cheese looked very tempting! 🙂

    Ciao Scintilla! Now we have two thumbs up for Michelangelo, which means I'm going to have to track some down to try out. Down my way we get a lot of great cheese from Agerola and Tramonti. There's a place in Scala that makes amazing mozzarella and provola, too. Yum… I'm getting hungry now!

    Ciao Lola! Don't go if you happen to be craving divine Campania mozzarella. It will just make it worse! 🙂 Can you get good mozzarella in Roma?

    Ciao Food Hunter! Yes, I'm sorry we missed meeting up, too. Come back again soon! 🙂

    Ciao Marybeth! Glad to help out. 🙂 Have a wonderful vacation in Praiano!

    Ciao Peter! Are you thinking what I'm thinking about Caseificio Michelangelo?

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
