Day One: Cooking Lesson at Cucina Casalinga

Today, we had a cooking lesson with Sally Maraventano in Sally's home in Wilton.  Sally is an Italian chef who specializes in culinary parties and travel.  Her website is here.  Today's post is by Owen Sheinberg.

Today, we drove to Wilton and had a cooking lesson with a very nice lady. At her house, we learned how to make meatballs, two kinds of pizza, and biscotti. I really liked her kitchen and how she grew all of her herbs at her home. This is special to me because rather than getting all of her ingredients from a supermarket, she grows them herself.
    At her house, we made a pizza with Scamorza cheese, caramelized onions, and fresh rosemary. We also made a margherita pizza with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and fresh basil. This was important to me because when I order pizza here at school, the toppings aren’t freshly made, while the pizza we made at the house the toppings were freshly grown and made. I also liked this experience because we got to eat what we made!
