Cooking is a Language, by Emily Reese


This pretty girl is Emily Reese. She is a poet.... but se doesn't know.
The title was her phrase of "debut" right at the beginning of the class, as she was tieing  her apron



This is Justin, her husband. By their smile, it is clear they are honey mooners.

They cooked a complete meal. One of the dishes was:

PORK FILLET WITH MUSHROOMS






Ingredients for 2:

300 gr (10 oz) pork fillet
4 slices of lard
200 gr ( 7 oz) mushrooms (better Porcini)
30 gr + 10 gr (about 3 tbs) extra virgin olive oil
flour to dust
sage, rosemary, juniper, garlic
salt and pepper
red wine, about ½ cup


Cut the pork fillet in 4 thick slices. Wrap them in the lard and fix it with a toothpick, then roll them in the flour.

Heat the olive oil in pan with the herbs and seal the pork slices.

Wet with a good glass of red wine, lower the flame and let it to reduce. Season with salt and pepper.
In the meanwhile, clean the mushrooms with a wet cloth; slice them and cook quickly in another pan with the remaining olive oil and salt.

Put the mushrooms in the pan with the pork, stir gently and serve immediately.


thank you Honey Mooners!
 my best wishes to you!
