You cannot talk about Italy, without talking about the food. Mary and me, we started each day, rather early (7.30am) with a cappuccino at Pastericceria Scaponi.
This picture was made on thursday, marketday, we bought delicious food for the picnic in the courtyard.
I talked with this farmer about one of his vegetables, he told me the name but I cannot remember .I bought his tomatoes, and carrots;
He also had the zucchinis and their flowers.
We visited a vineyard, in the surroundings of Orvieto. Delicious wine, beautiful views an d a nice vineyard-owner.
On wednesday we had a cooking class, so much fun!!!
Janet and me worked very concentrated....
Together we made: parmiginana di melanzane , panna cotta and rotolini di zucchini e ricotta.
These rotolini were delicous!!!!
Our last groupdinner on friday gives us lots of wonderful memories. The food was 'divine' as they say in France, I heard you Americans say 'to die for'.
One of the starters, there were four different starters...., was cheese with truffles. I had never eaten truffles, they are rather expensive here , but Orvieto has summer and autumn truffles, black and white.
This is my last 'Trip to Italy' post, thanks for joining me . I hope to return in May 2012. If you want some recipes, I have some typical of Orvieto, you can send me an email.
P.S some pictures I used are made by Janet, Bill and Mary, thanks.
