DINING IN FLORENCE

We kicked things off at Fine Dining Lovers with a tour of one of Italy's most beloved cities: Florence.

We wanted to know: is it possible to dine on a budget? The answer is YES!

Take a look at our guide to dining in Florence for as little as 25 euros and up to 100 euros. You may be surprised by our gourmand finds.

ITALY MEETS THE PHILIPPINES

Next on our agenda was an exclusive sit down with Margarita Forés, the most well known female chef in the Philippines who also happens to be Asia's Best Female Chef.

Forés runs a mini empire that began with the founding of Cibo, a casual dining spot that blends Italian food with Filipino favorites.

Here's what she had to say about her love of Italian food and how it inspired her career.
