Winter Light, Cooking with Massimo & Friends Part 6
It is true that until recently I have never made pasta from scratch. I bought the pasta machine, a shiny steel contraption and Jamie’s book on Italian cuisine as gifts for husband and kept my fingers crossed. He prepared the pasta mixing flour and eggs going from novice to pro within weeks so for me, why bother? However, now that ravioli presented itself in Bread is Gold page 32 to be exact well I had to test my fortitude.
How Big is a Sprig? Cooking with Massimo & Friends Part 2
How is it that this cooking project is now the anchor for days at home? A lifeline of sorts and perhaps a welcome distraction in the middle of navigating new territory in lifestyle, family time and communications. Lucky for me slow living and slow food has been my happy place over the years, its almost the perfect foundation for this time we now find ourselves in.
The Cookbook Project
Somewhere along the way I have been contemplating the idea to find a cook-book that I would go on to actually cook every recipe in the publication. The theory being that I learn some new skills in the kitchen, perhaps find some fresh recipes I can rotate on the family menu, perhaps take myself into new territory in the land of cookery and food. I have been thinking about this for about a year now.
