Lots of things have been happening in between all of my recent trips . . .  I haven't been to a cooking class in a good long while, so it was fun to meet together with some friends in July and learn how to cook up a few new things. Rachel McGovern, one of my first friends here in Vicenza, just moved up to Germany. But before she left, she coordinated with Francesca (her favorite cooking class instructor) to put together a menu of some things that she wanted to learn how to make.  The menu consisted of:  Gnudi Tomato sauce Mushroom-bacon sauce 6-cheese sauce Fried zucchini flower blossoms I will share with you what I learned, including the RECIPES!!! We met at my friend Emily Thompson's house, and she had already gone out early that morning to pick some of the squash flower blossoms from their garden.  Video of Francesca describing how to prepare the blossoms and remove the stamen from the inside - "Careful the pinch": (50 seconds) https://photos.app.goo.gl/KHoo4B9sj8...
