Trio of Canederli (bread dumpligs)
Canederli are a typical dish of the Dolomites and were born from the need to recover stale bread. Large bread dumplings to which speck and chives are added, but they are also delicious with spinach and mushrooms. Normally they are served in broth, but I prefer them dry after coating them with melted butter and smoked ricotta cheese. I suggest a trio of flavors accompanied by a salad of cabbage and cumin.
We had a lovely time meeting Cinzia and eating the delicious food she prepared for us! She was very welcoming and it was so cozy to spend a few hours in her lovely home in the mountains. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area who is looking for a good meal and learning more about local cuisine. Grazie!

Cinzia was absolutely wonderful. Her knowledge and skill as a teacher is unprecedented. I would love to take another class from her when I travel back to Italy.

A delicious three-course Italian meal cooked at home, paired with a lovely bottle of wine. Shared with my guest, his daughter, and myself.

"The kitchen has always been the essential element of my family. Both grandmothers were cooks, one refined cooked in a private house, the other simpler ran a tavern. Daughter of two pasta makers from whom I inherited the passion for homemade stuffed pasta: canzunziei, tortelli... I grew up with the smell of sauté and flour in the family lab. Having grown up I continued to experiment with typical recipes from every Italian region. I very often host friends for dinner with whom I often share the preparation of recipes. I live in an old house, with exposed beams that warmly welcomes my guests, especially in winter with the wood burning stove."
