Italians speak a unique language: it is not made up of words and verbs but of ingredients and recipes. It is a language that varies from region to region, from city to city, sometimes even from family to family... It is a language that has unique smells and flavours: a language spoken around the table and handed down from generation to generation in front of the kitchen. Italians love through food, hug by opening a bottle of wine, share by telling their territory through its best ingredients. If you truly want to experience Italy you must learn its language. So put on an apron and join me in the Lab! Spoiler Alert: a lot of typical italian-gestures are expected :)
