Toni  Marraccini and Jay Colabella are both New Yorkers college students.  They found out that they both  had a family trip to Tuscany. Jay on 2008, Toni on 2009. It didn’t take them long to find out that they both attended our cooking class.

They pull out their recipes books and gathered for a cooking evening. “We made hand-made pasta just like you taught us” says Toni  “It was delicious”. They prepared both Bolognese and  a  veggies Ragu’ for Toni, being vegetarian.

We always claimed cooking is a love story, isn’t it?
