Cari Amici,
Spring is in the air and we are already dreaming of planting our herb and
vegetable gardens, firing up the pizza oven and enjoying our cooking class luncheon and dinners al fresco on the
patio. We welcome our corporate friends and look forward to hosting their Spring and Summer teambuilding events
. Book early as our schedule is already filling up! See the corporate page for details.
Our next walking tours of Arthur Ave
will be on April 23rd and May 6th. Join us for some fabulous food shopping in “Belmont” where you
will meet the merchants who have been my friends since I was a child. As always we will enjoy a
sumptuous luncheon in a local trattoria before heading home with our filled coolers!

In the middle of April I’ll be heading to New Orleans to the IACP Conference (International Association of Culinary Professionals) - a yearly
culinary event dedicated to promoting good food around the world. This year I’ll be a judge in an
essay contest entitled “Heirloom Recipes: The Food Legacy of My Family” for local New Orleans children ages 9 - 14. One thousand culinary
professionals worldwide are looking forward to helping New Orleans in its courageous quest to
restore the city to its outstanding culinary excellence and popularity!
Our kids Cook Italian Camp in February was a
great success! Look at the Kids page for the dates of our three day August Summer Camp. This year
we'll have cookbook author, Maria Sanchez, owner of Sweet Maria's Bakery in Waterbury as a guest chef.
Finally my itinerary for our Fall Culinary and Cultural
Tour to Florence is ready and we are now taking reservations for the 7 places that are available. The
dates are October 18th to October 25th. Please call for more information.
Come join us in our kitchen soon!
