Richelle – from South Africa – and friend Paula kicked off my 2015 US cooking tour by uniting a delightful group of young women over the burners in Richelle’s kitchen.
Mille grazie to all of you who participated with such enthusiasm. May we cook again together soon – at our home in Umbria, next time?
