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.

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.
