Italiaaaaa!.. Delicious!

In Home Ec at the moment, we are doing a project on "International Cuisine". For this project we have to choose a country that we would like to research about and cook food that is well-known in this country. We have to do this project in pairs. My partner is Chloe. We make a great cooking team!
We have chosen the country of Italy for our International Cuisine project. We chose Italy, because we both love Italian food and Chloe also has Italian connections. We were also both interested in finding out more about the country itself. From our Junior Cert geography course, we know about the different regions in Italy and why they are different. We thought it would be interesting to find out more and learn new things about Italy.

The project we are doing, involves making three dishes from our chosen country. One of the dishes has to be a savoury dish. One of the dishes has to be a sweet dish. The third dish can be either sweet or savoury. We have to take pictures of each completed dish for our project presentation.

Last Tuesday was our first cooking class for the international cuisine project. We cooked a very simple pasta dish; Luxury Tagliatelle. I cooked this dish for my Junior Cert practical in home economics, so I was quite familiar with how to make the dish. It was really easy to make and result was DELICIOUS! I ate the pasta dish for my lunch that day as our double home ec class is the last two classes before lunch!

Next Tuesday we will be making a traditional Italian Lasagna.

Niamh! :D
