"When I was a very little girl I used to wake up to the smell of food that my Great Grandmother was cooking on the woodstove in terracotta pots. She had many of the in various shapes and sizes and each one was used for a specific food and that food only. Money was not plentiful and meat was only on the table once a week but cooking was always considered to be a very serious form of Art. And so it was that a great variety of foods were prepared in the large kitchen where I would spend most of my time sticking my nose into everything everybody else was doing: cooking, sewing, painting etc.
I would like to invite you into my Great Grandmother’s kitchen—that is my classroom, to take you on a cultural journey with a lot of fun, learning how to cook those dishes in the old Italian “pentole di terracotta” or commonly called “I cocci”, with a touch of your own creativity, and learn what to cook in them.
The cooking lessons at my home generally begin mid morning. Everyone works together during the day making wonderful food. There is good deal of laughter and fun. At the end of the day we enjoy dinner together and leave with leftovers."
