We learned a lot!

Our learning place was the kitchen! Gloria and her Mother showed us how to make pasta and the piemontese speciality called plins - tiny sort of stuffed noodles. Really delicious, but also hard work!

Nonna, Glorias Mother is an expert in piemontese cuisine. She liked it very much to pass on her knowledge.

Have you ever eaten Bagna Cauda? It is a simple dish made out of olive oil, anchovis and garlic. Tastes great - you can serve it with vegetable like peppers baked in the oven and peeled.

This is the farmers market in Asti near the office of IAL Piemonte. We went there in the morning, to have a look at the fresh food.

Here we learned how to make goat cheese and had the opportunity to taste it.

We also visited Eataly in Torino, a wonderful Slow Food Market with great food from Italian Producers.

Here you can buy Plin - but we prefered our home-made-ones.

Thank you Barbara, Silvia, Gloria and Nonna for this wonderful study visit.  Kitchens are very good learning places, for sure!
