This nice short story from California Culinary Academy graduate Heidi Schooley tells of her three month internship at noted winery, restaurant and cooking school Badia a Coltibuono in the Chianti region of Tuscany. She talks about her work with regarded chef Francesco Torre, her first meal in the famous wine growing region and generally what it was like to experience life in place where she felt the most amazing part of the journey was eating the food and not just cooking it.
