What does it all mean? I’m still trying to get down my elevator talk about this experience, its a tricky one to sum up. It is juuust a bit more more than just saying I had an amazing time eating and talking about food. I spent ten weeks with nine courageous, exciting, smart, challenging, fun, diverse people that I would not have befriended under other circumstances. I was taught by a team of women that were generous, thought provoking, and hilarious. I wintered in the Sicilian countryside where I was able to enjoy the sun (and rain and snow), hillsides and pastures, the slow pace of village life, starry nights, and of course the food. Enza’s salads, fresh bread, hot coffee and cakes, artichokes, pasta galore, citrus, and on!
