5 Years Ago

Dinner with Doriano and Carla, some more little cooking tips for Sandy and a final opportunity to grab those last few traditional Italian recipes as the Italian sector of our segmented Italian cooking trip gap year is fast coming to a end.
 
It was here in Piobbico in the very narrow lanes leading to the castle 5 years ago almost to the week that a couple of very nervous little foodie tourist left Venice, driving on the wrong side of the road for the first time and well all my blog followers know the Doriano story. Now my adopted Italian brother, gosh the fun and trouble we have got up to over our 5 trips here into Piobbico. Maybe a vino or two hundred and two may have passed our lips!!!
 
  
tonight we were spoiled with Carla's seafood pasta
 

 Monkfish with mussel and clams

  
To finish sitting under Doriano's cherry trees enjoying the fruits of his labour.


 no pictures of two little boys with huge tears in their eyes as we say our last goodbyes.

  2. What a stunning picture. Yes Pete Doriano & Cala might come to Auzzie land one day and whilst we mightn't have truffling we have some amazing local treasures.
