Cibo (alternate words: Comida, Nourriture, Food)

Welcome to Cibo, in Italian, simply meaning 'food'.

Cibo, Food for Life, is a diatribe about food, life, and the love, nourishment, and trials we encounter day to day... with some special antidotes to those trying times, in the form of nourishing words, recipes, or simply expressions of the moment. Decadent, gluttonous, or rustically simple.


Love and Abundance, Giovanna
