Week 2 Culinary Lab






This is all the food I made this week in Culinary lab! The first picture is potato Gnocchi with fresh pesto sauce and pork filet!  The second own is fresh tomato sauce with orechiette pasta and spinach and ricotta cheese ravioli with walnut sauce.  The third picture is risotto with Bresaola and Bitto cheese and rabbit leg!  The fourth and fifth picture is Jumbo shrimp and lard on toast with fresh sliced salad and beef with eggplants and grilled tomatos.  The last picture is cheese gnocchi roman style, spinach balls and fried shrimp on top of a tomato, garlic, basil sauce!  This week was very busy, hot and fun!  I loved making all the food even though it was hard and time consuming!  We only have 3 more days of cooking before our final next week! Then it is on to wine lab for the last 3 weeks!  I leave For Parma and Modena Saturday morning at 4:30 am and will be back late Saturday night!  We are going to see where parmigiano reggiano is made and from!  We get to test out a lot of food and explore the city!  I worked this past Wednesday again and loved it! I was working more in the front of the house this time, serving food and drinks and bussing!  I also got to bartend for a few hours which was fun!  The Gelato Festival of Florence is currently going on right by my apartment! It is 5 days long!  They have free gelato, gelato cocktails and live music all day and night!  We usually go to it everday after school for some free gelato!  The weather has been super hot here! It has been between 90-95 degrees!! My roommates and I layed out on thursday for about 30 minutes until we died of  heat hahah! Guess i will be staying in the air conditioned places!!
