Cooking Class with Anne Robichaud

Ocean View, Delaware was one of the stops on Anne Robichaud's cooking tour, bringing Umbrian cuisine to several cities in the U.S. I was delighted to be able to participate and get to meet her face to face for the first time. She and I had communicated while Bob and I were living in Italy but never had the chance to meet. We are both contributors to italiannotebook.com and I have long admired her knowledge of Italy, Umbria in particular, and her generous spirit! 

I had so much fun, met so many delightful women and felt like I was back in Italy!
