Yes, Pete, you certainly did pass the “test” at the Janet and Louise’s San Francisco cooking class: you were right there, mixing, stirring, adding wine and olive oil to the dishes”q.b.” (
“quanto basra” or “as much as needed”). Pete, the only man in a group of delightful women, wrote me this note after the class: “This was my initiation to the circle of fabulous Italian cooks and I think I passed the course as far as stirring, throwing in
“un pugno di sale” (“a fistful of salt”) goes …thank you for leading such an enjoyable (and tasty) event.” And
