Judy, you are right about TIME being the key element. I finally figured that out when I tried a new focaccia recipe. Not only does time improve the texture of the dough and make it lighter, it also gives it a much more rich and complex flavor. Can't wait to try this place next time I'm in Rome. Grazie!

Wow - does that ever look like fun. And thanks for the tip about Elizabeth's videos. This fellow Gabriele is really quite a character - larger than life, as they say. He was just featured on Anthony Bourdain's "The Layover" about Rome. I envy you all the time you spent in his class. I must get to work in my own kitchen. Thank you for the inspiration.

Great photos and ideas.
No boring blog posts, just boring people reading them, and just maybe, a tiny bit jealous.
Why shouldn't it be about you and your friends, it's your life and blog. I enjoyed the tour, thanks for sharing.

@kris- the artichokes were cleaned like for carciofi alla romana-- artichokes roman style--- and seasoned with EVO, garlic and parsley-- ( mint would have been nice too) and salt. then wrapped in dough and baked!

think i will try it and let you know on the blog- was lovely-

@amber the classes where at Tricolore a sandwich shop in monti area with classes at night. Bonci owns pizzarium pizza al taglio with incredible toppings-

So yummy! I miss Italy. I wonder if my aunt and cousin know about this workshop. will have to ask them next time I talk to them. They live in Rome. I just found your blog recently and love reading about the food! Will be waiting to see how your experiments are going. My husband has been planning how he wants to make our outdoor pizza oven for years...it's so expensive and we have had a million other things to do to the house! Would love to hear how you like to eat Radicchio Treviso. This was my first year growing and forcing them. So far I have grilled it with EVOO salt and pepper, then balsamic, garlic, parsley, basil, and rosemary after it comes off. But my favorite is still fresh in a salad with my other radicchio! Will be trying Puntarelle next season!

Well, Judy, I love reading about your adventures - recipes or no! :)

(However, I certainly wouldn't mind learning more about those artichokes roasted in the dough - wow that sounds intriguing!)

It was great seeing you in Rome. What fantastic photos. You have to come down more often, it's so close and so easy. And about that comment....when you have interesting friends like Bonci, Kim, Terry and me, I think that more than justifies you blogging about us! :)

thanks-- day started off badly with a note from a reader how boring my blog post was-- that was my blog just about me and my friends--- no recipes?

AHHHHH - can't please everyone--

What was fabulous was the creative use of vegetables with the pizzas. I adore the one topped with the incredible salad on ricotta cheese... like open faced sandwiches! beautiful and flavorful.

Love those pizzas. Now I am hungry.
