Planning a trip to Italy? Here's a dining opportunity to consider!
The "Home Food" organization
is the new baby of Egeria Di Nallo, a sociology professor from Bologna. Her network of home cooks — mainly women
— recently blossomed to over 100 hostesses or "Cesarine" (empresses) — so called as a compliment to the
mothers, aunts and grandmothers who passed on their versions of the culinary-gastronomic traditions of Italy.
Home Food got off to a fast (and tasty) start in 2005. When we browsed their website calendar, we noted 11 different lunching/dining opportunities for the month of January:
two in Naples, three in Bologna, one in Rome, one in Lecce, one in Syracuse, and three in Florence.
Here's the menu for meals scheduled in Florence in January 2005:
Crostini di Fegatini
Farro in insalata
Pappa al pomodoro
Trippa alla fiorentina
Crocchette di verdure dell'orto
Pomodori al tegame
Fagioli all'uccelletto
Cantucci di Prato
Zuccotto
Prodotti tipici presentati in questo percorso: Farro della Garfagnana, Olio extravergine di Oliva Chianti
classico
A one-month membership, costing $4.75, is a pre-requisite for attending a dinner or lunch which average around
$45.
