The Pretty Amanda is in the middle, next to me, between the parents.
Amanda was the one who organized the "cooking surprise" for the family:
The beautiful mother, who is of Asian origin and who is the cook of the house;
the father, who, although he said he was not expecting to cook, betrayed his Italian origin by peeling apples.
Amanda chose to make fresh pasta.....
...tha became really well appreciated Ravioli with cheese and pears;
and a nice dish with veal, which recipe is showed below.
THANKS TO YOU ALL: COOKING WITH YOU WAS AS LIGHT AS DANCING (AS I WAS PLAYING WITH EGGS IN MY HANDS...). I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
