Photographer and Hungry Ghost contributor Mary Rozzi writes in on her Slow Food meal in Barcelona, Spain.

The other night I ate with a group of friends at Origens in Barcelona Spain, a restaurant recommended by a Slow Food Website.

 It was soooo good! At first I was a little put off by the plastic menu outside and the lack luster decor, but the restaurant was recommended by a Slow Food Site as a restaurant using all local and organic ingredients and products. A summary of each dish was give on the menu and there was a description of what was in each plate.

We tried one of everything and it was such a great time!

We  all loved the duck with pear sauce but my absolute favorite was the local pork stuffed apples!

We were a tough crowd, but  in the end, we all walked away thouroughly satisfied and with big smiles on our faces!

Photographer Mary Rozzi on her meal at Da Nino in Rome...

" I loved the puntarelle, my new favorite dish!

We had fried baccala and artichokes, braised veal and puntarelle. Nothing tops the Italians, I could eat myself to death!" Da Nino is a beautiful old ristorante da 1934 right off the Spanish steps.
