Monday
Today is PASTA!  We made fresh pasta to perfection! When working with these two wonderful chefs, we are held to very high standards! Close to perfection, every pasta noodle is exactly the same size!
We made tagliatelle, tortellini, and ravioli!  We then divided into our groups to practice skills by making a lemon tart with a sweet pastry and a lime parfait in a honey wafer basket.
We spent time in the afternoon visiting a buckwheat mill that has been a family operation for 12 generations! This is our first evening to prepare and plate the meal. Plating is quite a new experience, also done to perfection!
