I met Emily today, the creator of wantingsocks. She studies science, loves vintage, flowers and colours. She makes me want to experiment with colours more. It was great meeting you!IMG_4570x IMG_4574x IMG_4567x

a night of italian cooking

Thanks to my friend Chris I was at Cucina Italiana Cooking School for a full on Italian feast! We made pumpkin and beetroot tortelli, chicken scaloppine and semifreddo al caffe dessert. Chef Luciana has a beautiful Italian kitchen and dining room. We spent a good four hours cooking, eating and drinking.  It was just such a lovely evening meeting all the people there who love cooking.

Love the taste of freshly pressed olives. IMG_4298x IMG_4312x IMG_4336xIMG_4323x IMG_4348x IMG_4328x IMG_4342x Can’t remember the name of this pasta. It takes very gentle and delicate wrapping and rolling just to make a tiny one of them. Everyone cheered when one was born. IMG_4362x IMG_4370xTortelli Di Zucca – pumpkin and beetroot tortelli.
