    This is really random but I saw an old post of yours on The Girl who ate everything and was wondering if you could help me out. I’m travelling w/family next month to italy and visiting venice. I was wondering if you were familiar with it and could maybe recommend the best places to eat or know who might be able to give me some advice. Thanks!!

    Beautiful! I really do need to buy a pasta roller. I have rolled pasta by hand - what a workout! And I don\’t like workouts in the kitchen.

    Do you have a food processor? Haven\’t tried it in mine (I use a microplane for grating), but Ina Garten of Food TV\’s Barefoot Contessa suggests putting hard cheeses in the processor. She just chunks it in the bowl and let\’s it whrrrrr away until grated.

    Yes, but it is bigger and chunky. It doesn’t work very well for a lot of things. The bigger grains don’t bind things as well. The Microplane is much easier when the cheese is younger. The old ones are never easy.

    Hi, I just came across your site and was wondering if you could recommend any of the best places in your opinion to eat in Venice as I’m heading there w/family next month. Or maybe you know someone who could recommend some places? Thanks!!

    To keep the fresh pasta from sticking to itself, cornstarch is really the best!

    Probably so. I am so into fast and easy I never tried that. Good idea.
