Wow, I feel like Traca! Guess who I met today??

[florisandy]

Giuliano Hazan! He gave me his business card.

Sorry to say, I never heard of him before so I have to read up on him. Here's his website.

Duh, Marcella Hazan's son! I only learned a few weeks ago she lives in these parts and didn't

connect the name (slapping face here).

Sandy, are we going to have to revoke your foodie license?

{{{sheesh}}}, I feel so thhhtupid! LOL

LOL!

Ha! And he's got a fabulous cooking school in Italy. smileys/smile.gif

Very cool!

My friends Dawn & Eric stumbled on his classes in Italy and were blown away by him. (These are uber foodie friends.) They struck up a friendship with Giuliano and now take care of his web updates and such. I hear he's a really nice guy. Divides his time between Florida and Italy, if I understand correctly.

 

[angak]

oh, what a perfect world!

Tr

him one day - and one from Val Nehez who I met in Philly over a year ago. See Image link also.

Traca, you're so fortunate to meet so many foodie celebrities. For the two I met, it was a thrill.

Thanks for the tidbit on Giuliano.

Awesome! I haven't met Guiliano but I hear he's wonderful. Lucky you!

His "Pasta in Thirty Minutes" is remarkable...

He times out the cooking process so nicely, and it really can come together in 30 minutes! I've done it a number of times!

 

[sallybr]

I am curious.... what's this recipe all about?

 

[Glennis]

Not a recipe, but a book...

Thirty Minute Pasta...

He has recipes that run start to finish in 30 minutes for a number of pasta dishes. All the prep, all the sauce, everything...30 minutes. He uses a few short-cuts, such as he uses no fresh pasta in this book, but all the recipes just about parallel Mom's recipes and are set up for the working woman of today.
