“This is a very intimate tour inside the home of Christina, a traditional cook with the presence of her own mother. Displayed are Christina’s mother’s pots and pans on the wall above a traditional wood pizza oven. All original recipes were indexed and carefully preserved. Enso the husband of Christina is a jovial presence that knew to stay out of his wife’s kitchen during our lesson and join us with our completed meal. The actual experience of being in a Italian home for a cooking experience is the best tour I could have dreamed of. I am excited to replicate the cooking of vegetable cake and tiramisu, in my own…”
