Hi Judy. I took a class with you spring of 2007. And very enjoyable it was, too. I have also taken recipes from the website. I don't know when I'll get back to Italy and, therefore, appreciate all the recipes on the website--where I am going immediately to order the cookbook. Nice being with you again, even virtually.

Kouros.
