He came to GiglioCooking some years ago to take a weekly course.
He was back last week, to learn how to cook what he defines "the best thing I have ever eaten".
In this photo, out of focus, he is checking the quails which are fired ("fuoco" in Italian) with alchool.
Magic Mike:
I will be waiting for your third cooking course at GiglioCooking! Thank you for your fidelity, for the lovely conversation and for the funny stories you told me!
