About me

About me

Curious Appetite is a food blog by Italy-based writer Coral Sisk. I blog about eating & drinking well in Florence, Italy and wherever curiosity takes me. I moved to Florence from Seattle in 2012 to pursue my dream to live in Italy and a career in food & wine. Outside the blog, I lead culinary tours & write for trusted publications such as Eater, Vogue, Vice Munchies and others. My favorite food groups are pasta, gelato and cocktails. What about yours?

  • Back to Leo's grown greens (romaine, rocket, mint & parsley), tomatoes, chickpeas, feta, sumac & lemon. Salad lunches were still a thing while I was on vacation, as this diet balancing phase has taught me that health knows few holidays. I did indulge here & there (foie truffle steak- im still thinkin of u) but ultimately I kept those meals to a minimum compared to past voracious habits. As a food professional, there are occupational hazards and unless you're a marathon runner with great genetics, a liver of steel and invincible organs- your body won't be happy with your work long-term without serious balance. So while I'm back to the grind, salad dayz never really took a day off. What foods never take a day off in your diet? #curiousappetite

Back to Leo's grown greens (romaine, rocket, mint & parsley), tomatoes, chickpeas, feta, sumac & lemon. Salad lunches were still a thing while I was on vacation, as this diet balancing phase has taught me that health knows few holidays. I did indulge here & there (foie truffle steak- im still thinkin of u) but ultimately I kept those meals to a minimum compared to past voracious habits. As a food professional, there are occupational hazards and unless you're a marathon runner with great genetics, a liver of steel and invincible organs- your body won't be happy with your work long-term without serious balance. So while I'm back to the grind, salad dayz never really took a day off. What foods never take a day off in your diet? #curiousappetiteI got some good news and some bad news- the bad news is I'm no longer in Spain but the good news is one of my boyfriends Jamon Iberico surprised me at work. On my Aperitivo cocktails & snacks Tour we normally stick to uber regional foods like prosciutto e melone but for some reason Spain's ham made a surprise appearance. It's like they knew I was jonesin' for my Jamon. More good news is Curious Appetite's gourmet tours in Florence are way back in action (grazie to our 5 ⭐️ sherpas who held down the fort!) Curious and hungry? Book via link in profile for some of the best culinary walks you'll ever devour! #curiousappetite #foodtoursHave you seen these peppers before? They are a variety from southern Italy called After 10 days of eating out, I'm happy to be back in my kitchen. The next days will be damage control and making peace with my liver. Starting w/ these red Turkish lentils from Anatolia sprinkled w/ Iranian sumac & tahini sauce aside basmati rice laced with Iranian saffron & pistachios ❤️How do you give your body a break after vacation? #eattheworld p.s. to Florence peeps: I got loads of these ingredients from @advie.fga in the Beccaria area on Via Fra' Giovanni Angelico. They are a gem for dried spices, pomegranate molasses, tea, dates, rice (koushe darbari) and many Iranian/int'l delicacies! 🇮🇷 🌹💚Butter-knife tender steak, grilled foie and truffle balsamic sauce nailed my last meal in Barcelona @bar_canete. Forget my last post, David Morales and this foie umami-laden steak are really my new Spanish boyfriends. 💋💃🏻🍷🇪🇸I know brown foods are tough but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if i didn't urge you to eat this and only this while having David Morales as your gastro guru for the evening. P.s. The fried croquettes are tasty, as the hand cut jamòn & tomato rubbed toast, Spanish oysters and nearly everything plus the only bottle from Toro is a hidden wine list gem from Vega Sicilia. Mega happy with this incredible recco via @zuckerandspice for @eaterMeet all my new Spanish boyfriends: Jamón Serrano, Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, Llonganissa de Vic y Sorry Italy, but Spain has a serious jamòn game 🐷 🌰 And this market (Santa Caterina) is way less bananas than Boqueria 🍌 What's your pick: Jamòn or Prosciutto? #FRavoritesGrilled razor clams in Barceloneta at possibly one of the best lil taverns (Bar Jai-Ca- tapas bar) I've ever met- if you (or your blood triglycerides) can handle fried, get all the fried things okay? Recco by @zuckerandspice via @eaterStrolling around the beachside quarter of colorful, quaint yet kind of fisherman dive-y of Barceloneta 🌊 🇪🇸 #TLpicksOn the brightside, I had a great excuse for vermouth therapy at one of the greatest hole-in-the-walls I've ever met: Morri Fi. Private labeled riserva vermouth w/ a snack of tomato marinated sardines on a thick potato slice, stuffed olives & tiny spicy green peppers. Italy, so far Spain is winning on the Aperitivo front. Another winning recco via @Eater #essential38
