Where better to learn about cooking than in Italy? That's what my sister and I did on our recent trip to Lucca, in Tuscany. Taught by Chef Giuseppe Mazzocchi, we started early where all good cooks start, at the market.
We followed our trip to the market with a jaunt to a panetteria. Look at that bread for our bruschetta.
Many of the people in our class were cooking class veterans, including my sister. But there is always more to learn.
The chef actually worked for many years here in Texas.
Risotta with Leeks and White Truffle Butter. Veal Saltimbocca.
Bucchelatto and Lemon Custard.
Buon Appetito!
It was a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteWhat fun! That bread is unbelievable! Thank you for sharing these excellent photos. I'd love to travel to Tuscany!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous class! The finished dishes look delicious. Although I'm not much of a cook (my husband actually cooks all our meals), I'd enjoy learning techniques from the masters like you did.
ReplyDeleteMy Saturday Snapshot post features magnificent views of Mount St. Helens.
