“…a fabulous evening of good friends, good food, and a little garlic,” is how co-host Diane summed up our delightful Potomac cooking evening, adding “Everyone in our group has told me they thought the evening was fantastic. We all bonded and are much closer than before. The men also had a wonderful time getting to know each other and being served the antipasti. Thank you for enabling this perfect evening.”
…and Diane, to think you put this evening together (with c-host Connie) the day after you cooked in your friend Paulette’s class!

Salute!
Co-bhost Connie, mille grazie to both you and Dave for welcoming us into your home! I am so grateful for your comment summing up our event as “an authentically Italian evening”:
“The activity in my kitchen the night of the cooking classI transported me back to my childhood with my aunts and my mother preparing holiday meals or maybe just Sunday dinner. I grew up in a first generation Italian-America family. The focus and the conversation was always on food. Your Italian cooking class was right on and I had a wonderful evening as did all the other participants. Thanks, Anne, for an authentically Italian evening.”
And the company was divine as Caroline put it: “Great gathering, cooking was awesome and the company divine. Thank you so much.”
And here’s Caroline on the job:
