I made the 1st and 4th recipesThe recipes were:
1. Bruschette Pomodoro Mozzarella e capperi: Bruschetta (pronounced brusKetta, by the way) with tomatoes and mozzarella. We decided we didn't want capers because we don't like them. We also got to choose whether or not to put them back in the oven at the end to melt the mozzarella. we did that! They turned out really really well- things like this make me like tomatoes. at least the really good ones in Italy
2. Cotoletta di melanzana: Fried eggplant slices. They also made a marinara sauce to put on it, making it like Eggplant Parmesan, without the parmesan... These were so good.
3. Pasta ai frutti di mare: Seafood pasta. This included mussels, prawns, calamari, octopus, and shrimp. The poor people who were assigned this dish had to clean and cut all of the whole pieces of seafood. I'm so so glad I didn't have to do that.
4. Ciambellone al Marsala- cake with Marsala, except we used a different wine than marsala because Marco thinks that it's too strong of a taste. What we ended up using made a good cake! We also made whipped cream to put on top, and I asked to put vanilla and cinnamon in it. That turned out well!
We hung around for a bit longer than normal because we were all hesitant to leave. Marco was such a great teacher, and a really nice person. A lot of us got a picture with him before we left.
