We had a blast
We spent the morning with Chef Paolo, and had a wonderful time (some bad jokes included), and learned quite a bit. Italian cooking is all about making the most of fresh ingredients; over the course of 3+ hours, and under his guidance we helped him prepare 10 separate dishes (3 antipasti, 3 primi, 3 secondi + panna Cotta), taking time after each round to gorge ourselves on truly fresh, tasty and contrasting selections. Ours was the fish and seafood section, so we enjoyed multiple versions of fresh branzino, clams, mussels, shrimp & calamari, with crispy fresh veggies and a crisp little chardonnay from the Veneto. A whole lot of fun, but plan to spend the rest of the day feeling incredibly happy and full. We will do it again when we return to the wonderful town of Lucca
Meeting Point
We will meet at Chef Paolo Monti's Cucina Italiana Cooking School
