I haven't made my own pasta for a few years and don't know why I stopped. I guess age and the fact that I cook for one. Going to live vicariously through your posts. Loved Italy every time I went, but we never took foodie trips like you have.<br />Wonderful post!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038190964528332030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-48155940101310445012016-02-03T18:08:20.160-08:002016-02-03T18:08:20.160-08:00I do dream of Italian towns and nobody but you cap...I do dream of Italian towns and nobody but you captures them so beautifully.

The remarkable thing about Italy is that everywhere you go is the most beautiful place you have ever been, until you go to another area, and Italy shows you a whole new face.

My grandparents came from Calitri and I visited once just for an overnight and have been trying to get back there ever since. I plan to do exactly what you wrote about-using Carla Capalbo's book and exploring the area. I had planned to go last October but at the last minute had to change my plans. I grew up eating cinguli-as children we called them "jingles"-they were my favorite of all the dishes my grandmother made.

You said it best when you said that sharing food is very effective at breaking down cultural barriers and how important it is to cook and share meals together to open us up to new cultures. I would love to dine in the cave restaurant with its pretty white interior one day.<br />Sam Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.com
