Day 5: Becoming Italian Chefs

Today was all about food…

The kitchen staff of Il Tempo Del Gusto, one of Spoleto’s nicest restaurants, welcomed the students to a cooking class. But not just any cooking class….there were two types of pasta, bread, stuffed zucchini blossoms, and dessert! Every student got to try their hand at one of the dishes, from hand-cutting strangozzi pasta to kneading bread.

Then it was off to enough the fruits of their labor! Ricotta stuffed zucchini blossoms with pesto and prosciutto, strangozzi alla Spoletina, ravioli with truffle sauce, and Umbrian crescionda (a chocolate and almond mousse-like cake). The staff was more than happy to join in on this delicious meal!

In the afternoon, after conquering well-deserved food comas, they were back in the studio for classes, working on photo editing or self portraits.

A hot but lovely day in Spoleto! A domani!
