Yep today is the day I am gonna tell you I have a date for the day.
But first ..St Peter's church took approx 150 years to get to the finishing line ( obvs my very knowledgeable pal @understandingrome can give you more details in her fab tours..) and so something that takes a loooong time to see the light ( like my home based cooking classes) will be always compared to it and say 'ma che e' la fabbrica di San Pietro?'
I do not have Michelangelo supervising but A is doing an amazing job.👏👏👏
There is still so much to do and quite a lot of stuff to take care of( oh I so miss the easy days of #latteriastudio) but hey there is a garden where to pick the freshest veg for the lessons! It is a win👩🌾
The kitchen will be ready on Monday the 17th October, few days to road test everything, and I have scheduled the first ever class..
Saturday 22nd October
Autumn bounty from the garden
( let's call it a soft opening)
There will be treats on arrival( as x usual so have a light breakfast)
We'll make Pizzelle fritte ( thank you
@rachelaliceroddy for the reminder)
We'll get stuff from the garden..
leeks, Cavolo nero, broccoli, Swiss chard, fennel, winter salads ..
Orecchiette for broccoli ..
Saved home grown potatoes and borlotti from the summer..
...and to round up an easy day we can bake a crostata with a delicious compote made with Polish blueberries and apples
( thank you for the crostate inspo to @alice.adamscarosi )
Lesson will start at 10.30 am but it would be nice to gather at 10.00 and have a bit of a chat.
You probably all know by now that I do
