And, once at home, you will produce your own good food yourself, and you will be reminded of what she has shown you. Instead, I will communicate, if necessary also simultaneously, in English, Italian and French and you will probably laugh at my linguistic "flights" and my role as "slave in Elisa's kitchen" :-) The lunch that follows is collaborative, everyone helps and, dishes and pans in the hands. The wine, the foods that I serve together with the pasta that we prepare together and that are all local and largely the fruit of my organic garden, do the rest.
