Siamo andati alla scuola di cucina questo mattina in Lucca. (We went to a cooking school this morning in Lucca) The class was conducted by Chef Giuseppe Mazzocchi. We met in a piazza at 9:30 am and went shopping. He gave us suggestions when shopping. Then we went back to his house, which is a gorgeous apartment - great setting. His wife greeted us and what a lovely lady. With 6 total people in class we made a salad, frittata, ravioli, another pasta, a ragu, and a dessert.
The class was well organized and supervised with an emphasis on safety - very sharp knives! The kitchen that we worked in was big with everything one needs to prepare a meal and to cook it. Chef Giuseppe has a great personality, fantastic sense of humor and is very patient. After we prepared everything we had sat at a beautifully decorated table in a gorgeous setting to eat our lunch. WOW everything was just perfect.
Our gift at the end of class was an apron, a handbook of menus, some herbs as well as a certificate. Grazie Mille Giuseppe!
His menus changes so we will be back for another class.
