NO ONE was on time! I dont know what the deal with Italians are but they don't have a care in the world when it comes to punctuality. The weather was gross and we had to stand outside in the rain until Francesca.. (the person hired by FCI to work at Alma) strolled in 40 minutes late. anywho it was a typical orientation, lots of sitting around, lots of boring information. The school however is gorgeous! I cant wait for a nice sunny day to take some pictures.
The layout of the program is as follows we have school every day. two days a week we have guest chefs that come from the two regions we are studying. We also have italian two mornings a week..(at 8 am!.. yikes!) and then we have history two days a week.. which is taught by a british man who resembles austin powers, maybe just with better teeth. and then there is wine tasting. Which is really interesting.. and the teacher is awesome.. the only problem with the wine sich is that it is at 9 am.. i know italians like their wine but thats a bit extreme, no?
The first day in the kitchen was absolute hell. We began the day tasting wine from the regions Liguria and Sardegna.
