Whilst on the topic of Italian cooking we spent a fun-filled day at the kitchen of a wonderful home cook in Bologna back in April, to get an up-close first hand exposure to home cooking at its best. She belongs to a group of 500+ professional chefs and amateur cooks who are committed to the noble mission 'to uphold the best traditions and practices of Italian cuisine.' Located in most key cities the organization runs a tight ship, making themselves available to aspiring young chefs, to wannabe home cooks, and even to tourists who merely want to see what the fuss is about.
We were taught the rudiments of making the 'Mother Dough' and from it ... Tagliatelle, Tortelloni, Tortellini and for good measures the Tererina Chocolate Cake was thrown in to round up the day. It was most gratifying as we find out how little we know about the art of pasta. Dora, must be her dainty but dexterous hands, was way ahead of me in her delivery which put me right where I should be, at the bottom of the humility chart.
