Buon Appetito!

Last Wednesday we had our first cooking lesson with the architecture students. We joined for dinner time and prepared a typical Italian meal: as main course we had pasta alla carbonara, accompained by a rich salad with Parmigiano, pears and nuts, and the final Tiramisu’ as dessert. Useless to say that everything was dilicious!

We had a great time together: we cooked, made new friends... and tried to learn some Italian! In one word: a success! Was it because the good quality of food? Or because alternative lessons are always funny? Or because there’s a little cook inside of us?

Here in Italy, if an Italian invites you to have lunch together, inevitably he will consider you a friend. Eating together is like an initiation, something that makes us consider you as “part of a family”. And I feel that it was just the start of something good!
