Cooking (cont'd)




Denise stuffing a tomato with risotto rice and a mixture of herbs and spices.

We learned the various meats used in the Tuscan antipasti plates. All of the meats were made or cut in the local butcher shop.


All together we made 10 dishes. We ate lunch and dinner complete with dessert, wines, etc. It was a great day. Met at the cafe at 9 a.m. And the teacher brought us back home at 8 p.m. The teacher spent most of her life in California so language was not an issue. That was one of the big reasons we decided on her. She was very informative and friendly/chatty all day. She took whatever time we needed and didn't rush anything. She has lived in Cortona the last several years. Lots of new dishes for our menu and some great tips and techniques.
