Tongue New here, from Italy- Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!
glad to be here-this is JUST the site I was looking for! I'm not a professional, just an amateur, and love cooking for my family and friends-even if haven't had all that time during the last years (I have a 2 years old little girl). Apart from Italian cooking (mainly Northern since I live in Genoa and my family comes from Lombardia and Emilia Romagna) I love almost all the other cookings, particularly the Indian cooking. I've travelled a lot before having my daughter, and everywhere I've been I tasted all the foods I could get and bought at least a cookbook. My favourites are pasta, rice and vegetable dishes, and sweets as well.
Hope to meet friends here and learn lots of new things!

Pongi

Welcome to the Cheftalk Cafe.



Does this mean you can get copa when ever you like?

Default Thanks everyone for the welcome!

Cchiu, I'm not sure to understand what does "copa" mean...maybe "coppa" (cured pork meat)?

Welcome, Pongi.

I don't recall meeting any Italians yet on Cheftalk. I'm certain you'll have a lot to contribute, and I look forward to your posts.

Welcome to you, Pongi! I'd love to hear what you have to say, particularly because we may go to Italy this summer.

Please forgive if my spelling is incorrect, but Benvenuto!

Welcome to Chef Talk, Pongi! Italian Cuisine has always been one of my favorites! I would love to see some good recipes from you! And, by the way, my favorite oil to use in cooking is Italian Olive Oil!

Welcome Pongi.
I spent 2 fabulous weeks in Northern Italy this past summer. Venice, Firenze, Sienna and Cinqua Terra.
My family loves Italian food. I cook it for them all the time. For simple food with lots of flavor, you can't beat Italian.

Ciao Pongi!

I mostly lurk here...but having spent two fabulous years in Sarnico(on Lago d'Iseo) I had to come out of the woodwork to welcome you! I miss much of your beautiful country - particular when it comes to food!
