\"Sam_and_don\"<\/a> My old friend Sam Corea (pictured with me, left) is with VANOC, the Vancouver Olympics Organizing Committee.  But right now he’s been seconded to the Torino Olympic Games in Italy, and I handed him the assignment of being my palate in absentia<\/em>, as it were.  Sam has attacked his task with gusto, and this morning we talked about some of the typical dishes available in Turin.  Thin crust pizza is everywhere, he says, with every imaginable topping.  Sounds like one of his favourites involved melted gorgonzola cheese.  He’s also enjoying the coffee, including a cappucino in the morning with a dollop of Nutella added!<\/p>\n

\"Sonya_and_the_grissini\"<\/a> My friends Sonya and Thorsten came over to help with test kitchen last night as I made a couple of other dishes that Sam says are quite typical of Torino, including grissini, little breadsticks brought to your table before dinner.  Sam says you can dip them in wine, or in his case, take some home and dip them in Nutella as a snack!  Here is a recipe for grissini<\/a>, one I adapted for use last night.  I haven’t had time to develop my one well-tested recipe, so you’ll have to go it on your own with this one.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"The_finished_agnolotti\"<\/a> The other recipe I made was for agnolotti.<\/a> These are square, stuffed pasta much like ravioli.  You’ll see in the recipe I followed one of the ingredients is for brains…I substituted more sausage.  Getting your pasta rolled out as thinly as possible without tearing it is tricky, so be patient, and good luck!  Thanks to Sam for his culinary sleuthing and to Sonya, Thorsten and Ramona for helping out last night.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
