I was born in Italy 41 years ago on a warm day in July. I believe on that particular day, the sun was high in the sky, big and full of flour, eggs, tomatoes and olives. The air had the aroma of basil, rosemary, garlic and, I suspect, that my mum took me on her arms, went out on the sun, breathed deeply this air and then she kissed me. I'm sure about all that because since that moment I had the curiosity, the passion and the infinite love to cook.
Now life took me to the wonderful city of Des Moines, my cooking luggage is much bigger. I have with me the taste of the great French cheeses, the firm meat of Irish salmon, the hot Mozambican Piri-piri chicken, the soft toughness of Nigerian jam bread, and the colorful Mexican chilies, tacos and tamales.
What will I put next in my infinite luggage?
