The Week in Review
This is where I was. Not too shabby, eh? That’s Lago Trasimeno which was infamously the site of a great Roman defeat to Hannibal. Nowadays it has shrunk a lot, so it would be much harder to entrap a whole army in a narrow defile. All that flat land below was under water 2000 years ago. Way up here in a vacation villa, we get the fabulous view and, if you have read Tacitus, the memories.
This is what I was doing.
And this is with whom. Meet the new assistant, Gabriella! Gabriella is studying advanced violin, and in the meantime, among the Mozart, the Bach and the Scarlatti, she helps me cook and serve hungry people.
Gabriella is giving a push at the frittata.
which will be antipasto.
And she made this Turta under my direction. It was really good, too.
The recipes for all of this can be found on this blog. Just plug the names into the search box and press the button!
Looks like a beautiful place. I was just about to ask about the Turta but see that the recipe is somewhere here so I’m off on a treasure hunt.

We loved the lake and surrounding area. Watch out that the new assistant doesn’t take over your clients!!!
I’m not worrying, Gil. She is still wandering around saying, “This is the best! This tastes great!” LIke most she eats from this region (Umbria) and her parents’ original region (Campania) only, so all these other foods dazzle her.
