This was a fun cooking class to learn to make focaccia and orecchiette. Anna was a wonderful teacher with the help of Giancarlo for some translations. The focaccia turned out wonderful, and it was very impressive to see Anna make orecchiette the “difficult” way. This was a good experience, and I would recommend it.
