Ciao from Positano, Italy!

I am settled in to a gorgeous villa atop Positano, gearing up for my first week of scuola di cucina (cooking school) and am beyond excited!!!! I do not know what awaits me in the kitchen, but I am ready to immerse myself in Cucina Italiana!  So, I am rolling up my sleeves and ready to get started...

Day 1- Fiori di Zucchine Ripieni (Stuffed Zucchini Flowers)
            Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina (Potato Dumplings with Tomato & Mozzarella)
            Peace All'Acqua Pazza (Fish in 'Crazy Water')
            Panna Cotta con Fragole (Italian Custard with Strawberries)

Wow! What an amazing first day. Filomina, my instructor, was a jewel. Slow, methodical, and very informative.  All courses were such a treat to sit and enjoy with un bicchiere di vino (a glass of wine) after class.

I will have pics to follow of the scenery but more importantly the food, but unfortunately the Internet here is very sporadic.

Saluti!
Stay tuned!!!!!!!!

Arrivederci
