It has recently occured to me that in four (cumulative) months of being in Italy i have yet to describe to you all what a typical week's menu contains. Mind you, these are a mix of items we produce with students and for students. Typically it's the lunch item that we teach and the dinner item we prepare. However, thursdays are done in reverse with the lunch item prepared ahead and the dinner formulated side by side with students.
So, without further adue, main items are regular text and the dessert is enclosed within brackets: (oh, and "Free Choice" = Whatever I want to make)
Sunday:(students arrive)
Lunch: Tuscan Antipasti Plate, Seasonal Soup[Local Fruit]
Dinner: First dinner with the students [Free Choice]
Monday:
Lunch: Fennel Gratin, Fresh Tagliatelle with seasonal sauce [Gelato of chosen flavor]
Dinner: Pasta, Seasonal Protein with Salad or vegetable side [Free Choice]
Tuesday:
Lunch: [Pasta Frolla Ricotta Tarts]
Dinner: Fish Antipasti plate, Seasonal Soup, Pasta, Fish-based Main, [Panna Cotta of chosen flavor]
Wednesday:
Lunch: 6 Color Ravioli, Gnocci 2 ways: A La Romana & Potato [Sorbet]
Dinner: Pasta, Seasonal Protein with Salad or vegetable side [Crème Brulee]
Thursday:
Lunch: Buffet of Tuscan Antipasti & Protein in finger-food form [Local Fruit / Free Choice]
Dinner: Pizza: Speck & Mascarpone, Stracchino & Salsiccia, Margerita, [Cantucci => What we know as "Biscotti", but that's a misnomer]
Friday:
Lunch: Fritatta Salad & seasonal Risotto [Chocolate Tasting]
Dinner: Pasta, Seasonal Protein with Salad or vegetable side [Tiramisu]
Whew, now that THAT's out of the way, I've decided that a great idea for a project'd be a series of photos based on the progression of each evening.
Stay tuned for pics!!
CIAO!
