- Italians don't always refrigerate their eggs. Keeping them out on the counter makes them the perfect temperature for baking.
- We make fresh bread at each shift. The same dough is used to make several different kinds. One is stuffed with walnuts, another with cheese, another with olives, and a plain one. All incredibly delicious and baked each day.
- The lard we use to wrap the filet comes from Colonatta, a nearby area that is the only place in the world that produces this kind of meat.
- Placemats are incredibly important here. We set them out at the family meal before each shift.
- Going green is no trend here. They are serious about keeping our planet going strong. So we separate the trash into organic, paper, and plastic in the kitchen.
- To keep the food warm after it's been plated, we dip the plates in boiling water before it is served.
Every day I learn something new about food. From flavors to techniques, I find everything about the culinary world fascinating. That is why I have begun this blog. To share and record my experiences with food each and every day. It is just the beginning of my career and I have a long way to go to get where I want to be, so right now I'm learning everything I can and sharing it with you!
