Lasagna with chantarelles. I had lots of chantarelles mushrooms that I decided to make lasagna with four pounds of foraged chantarelles. I usually don't make this lasagna as chantarelles are very expensive, but this year is the year of chantarelles. If you have access to fresh chantarelles or porcini, I would highly recommend making this vegetarian lasagna. It it so delicious. Thin homemade pasta layered with bechamel, parmigiano reggiano and wild mushrooms sautéed with olive oil, garlic and parsley. If I had some taleggio I probably would have put some in between the layers.

Rotolo di zucca con ripieno di ricotta. The students made this delicious cake in yesterday's cooking class. It was all about winter squashes, from appetizer to dessert. A purée of homegrown honey nut suqash was folded in the cake batter and filled with ricotta cream and mini chocolate chips. It's easy to make and a beautiful cake to make for Thanksgiving. For more ideas on ways to cook winter squashes, take a look at my IG highlights. Happy Thanksgiving!

On the last day of our Calabria Immersion tour, we hike in the Pollino National Park. This is one of my favorite excursions as this time of the year the Pollino park is full of wild flowers and many wild orchids. Here are a few pictures to show you the beauty of this park.
Did you know that the Pollino National Park is the largest park in all of Italy? And that there are lots of black and white truffles in the park? Would you like to join us next year?
