Cooking adventures

We enjoyed another day in Tuscany today by partaking in some Italian cooking lessons. A three course lunch, with crostini and stuffed zucchini flowers, ragu tagliatelle, and biscotti - Chef Igor and sous chef Danielle were ready!

We started in the garden with the chef and got to pick some fresh veggies and herbs. We also met the neighborhood kitty, Olive, who helped in our food gathering.

Our teacher was wonderful and we enjoyed a lazy afternoon of prosecco and cooking, with multiple tastings in between. We made some disproportional noodles but hey, they tasted wonderful!

The biscotti was dangerously too simple to make, so don't mind me making and eating biscotti for the rest of my life. We dipped them in Vin Santo, a delicious dessert wine - so good.

We enjoyed a few cocktails and played cards as our last day in Tuscany came to a close.Read more
