California Here I Come

April 18, 2010 by Divina Cucina

Well to tell the truth, I am already here and running! Was very lucky to have been able to get out of Munich, while at the airport waiting from 9am to 4pm I saw airport after airport being closed for the volcanic ash! We had to fly a slightly different route to avoid Paris and London ( which were closed) and flew around and got into SF a little late- but I AM HERE.

Now to see if I will be able to get home in May when it is time to leave- hope it manages to blow away without too much damage.

First class I did was last night at the lovely Cavallo Point Cooking School in Sausalito.


Great group, some return students from previous classes, so followers on my blog- so great to meet in person. We pulled off a great menu- I am always so pleased when we find the ingredients. California is so similar to Tuscany in many ways.

The work intensive dish was the hand-rolled Pici pasta with my Sunday Ragu, with red wine, prosciutto and dried porcini. They did a great job!

We had quite a few bloggers here too and I will link to their posts when I get them.

Today off to teach in a new school in Lafayette, In Terry’s Kitchen, with my friend Terry.
We are tag-teaming so will be fun!

Originally from California; Tuscany has been my home since 1984. I found the city of Florence to hold all my passions, food, wine, art all in one place. When I am not in Tuscany, I am often found in Sicily, my other favorite place to be. Always searching for recipes to share and exploring for the guides I write to my favorite cities for food and wine.
