First Cooking Class

Quick post since I haven't had internet access in my room for the past few days and I need to go to bed soon for my 8am class.

I just wanted to mention that I put up 4 new recipes that we made in class on Monday. That's right, we made 4 dishes and got to enjoy them all :) We split up into 4 groups and I helped make the Scaloppine con nocciole, which was super easy and delicious! The sauce was incredible. We also made Linguine spinaci, fagiolini e caffè, which was pasta with coffee in the water. It was interesting...it smelled strongly of coffee, but didn't have a particularly flavorful taste. We made amazing little mashed potato balls, with parsley and bread crumbs on top called Palline di patate gratinate. For dessert, we had a simple Ricotta al cacao con coulis di frutta, ricotta cheese with berries...yum!

Tomorrow I have my first Basic Sewing Techniques class (which I just switched into last week and so missed the first class). After that, I will write more about each of my classes this semester.

Ciao!
