Cooking with Paula


Jenny hired an Italian chef to cook for us during the program.  Paula lives in Santa Maria degli Angeli, and she came every weekday during the program to concoct delicacies like lemon pasta, zucchini fritters, and almond cookies.  


She needed all the help she could get to feed the crowd of students, teachers, family, and friends that gathered for lunch each day.  Kathy was always in the kitchen, and we would all drop in during the day to lend a hand and steal a taste of whatever was cooking.  Delicious...

I think my favorite dessert was the panna cotta, a plain custard topped with frozen berries:

  1. What kind of berries are in that panne cotta?

    It is very hot here, and I would like an icy tea to be drunk through a thin straw. What tea do you use?

  2. I like peach best, as long as it isn't too sweet!

    I'm not sure what the berries are, you have to ask Kathy... probably raspberries and blackberries?
