We had a very special guest join us in the kitchen, Franco, from Franco's Osteria restaurant. The chefs helped him make a delicious Italian dish, Vegetable Primavera. The chefs had a lot of fun julienning vegetables and getting a mini-history lesson about Italy from Franco.
Franco gave some very useful kitchen tips: when salting pasta water it should taste as if you have mouthful of sea-water! Also he showed the chefs how to use garlic to season the oil in the saute pan.
Franco joined the chefs for a most delicious lunch, followed by home-made biscotti from the restaurant.
THANK YOU Franco for cooking with us! Be sure to check out his restaurant

And meet Mollie - our newest chef!
Chef Mollie is an awesome 9 year old who loves pasta and baking brownies in the kitchen. She has one fish named Fifi.
Chef Mollie spends the hot summer days swimming (but not with her fish, Fifi). She hopes to be a lawyer someday.
