Cooking Class in the Sagraincasa kitchen
Only one month to our departure for the United States of America.
I know I`m becoming a bore but I`m so excited and looking forward to it that every time I have the opportunity, I cannot resist bombarding anyone with even a little knowledge of the places we will visit with questions, and guess what..all my questions are always about food !! It even happened a few days ago during my cooking class with a group of wonderful girls from the Kansas University Aboard in Orvieto.
It`s been a few years since I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to start this wonderful collaboration with this University. Groups of young American students come to my farmhouse to learn how to cook a whole Italian menu and also to learn a bit about our Italian culinary culture.
Homemade pasta is so easy to make and lovely to taste,the concept being to just use a few fresh seasonal ingredients and take great care about the balance of flavours. In a few words what I always try to impart is that the key word for Italian food is simplicity.
Not only is it a pleasure to have these girls (and boys) here but also fun for me to hear their stories and share their passion for food, all foods. This time In the group of students there was a girl from Ohio, Cinccinati. Now Cinccinati is one of the cities we will be visiting during our USA tour so I couldn`t stop myself asking her” what is the most favourite local delicacy that I should try to eat once there?” “Cinccinati Spaghetti Chili”, she responded to me smiling … can you believe it? A plate of pasta !! I will definitely try it.
So if you have any suggestions of local food/dishes we MUST try when we are there please feel free to let us know..
The plan for this trip it will be to see old friends, people I have had the pleasure of knowing over the years in my kitchen in Umbria and also some lovely American people I met when working in other kitchens near Orvieto. The idea is also to meet new people and share with them all my passion for Italian food. So cooking, eating , drinking and being together like a big Italian family under the American flag !!
Thanks to the great help of some dear friends , all the planning is now complete and I am finally able to give you the dates and destinations where I will be rattling my pots and pans.

To participate in our Italian cookery workshops or an Italian dinner party is very easy, please contact my friends Karen, Bill and Nancy. Three fantastic people I have the honor of knowing years ago here in Umbria. Karen is the owner of a beautiful rental Villa in Benano, Bill runs a super fun Italian tour here in Orvieto with his wife Kristin and Nancy is a great musician that I had the pleasure to meet four years ago in my kitchen. She was actually my first student, how sweet it that!
Anyway, I am looking forward to hearing your suggestions, bearing in mind that we will also stop in Ashville and NYC on our way…so which brew should we try? which restaurant? which dish? PLUS of course if YOU fancy meeting me and eating ITALIAN food, you are more than welcome to join the family !
