Cooking Class in Verona

Here is a video I made of our cooking class with Chef Fluvio De Santa at the Centro Servizi Formativi "Stimmatini." We made a four-course meal, beginning with a stuffed tomato, then this three-meat ragu (chicken, turkey, and rabbit) over pasta, followed by veal in mushroom sauce, and culminating in panna cotta with a sauce of frutti di bosco. After cooking, we ate. It was all totally delicious!

Remains of the Day

Our trip is over and it was grand. My students have all produced blogs that detail much about the group experience, so here are the links to their blogs.

There are lots of photos of food in these blogs, as well as interesting commentary about what it is like to be an American student in Italy. I will be updating my own experiences as soon as I have a bit of time. Being a teacher in Italy was just as much fun as being a student!
