I studied abroad in Florence and had an eye-opening experience with food that I never had growing up I lived with this little old lady named Graziella, who was a widow, and she cooked for me every day. I wasn't very into food until I was in college. But what does she cook at home in Brooklyn on a Sunday? Turns out, it’s often a big pot of beans, but it’s anything but basic.
