Yes, Siena is what I would describe as "Peak Europe." It doesn't get better than this. You can think of Siena as a smaller and more subdued version of Florence. Florence overflows with tourists, who crowd vast avenues lined with marble-clad palaces. In contrast, Siena awaits a smaller crowd meandering through alleyways of sun-baked brick.

The primary consideration on whether or not to visit Florence is the kind of experience you expect.

This recipe dates to the 17th century Medici courts in Florence but was a variation of a common drink at the time. Originally, eggs were used to thicken common drinks like beer or wine, but later the dish was used to fill pastries and other desserts. This is a very simple version, and it can be changed in various ways, notable by adding spices or using different wines.
