The Baird family generously hosted a cooking class for Dr. Paduano’s course “ITAL 340: History and Culture of Food in Italy” last Sunday. Students had a chance to prepare together a few tasty dishes of “cucina povera” such as gnocchi al pesto and polpettone, while learning about geographical and historical factors shaping the traditional cuisine of Italy. A very big thank you to Joe and Linda for a pleasant and memorable evening together.
