Italian Home Cooking class. The Italian Mamma teacher! Before the lesson, he always asks me if I would like to go to a cafe. The espresso brewed with the pistachio-colored Bicchiere (special espresso equipment) is the best!
マンマの家庭料理教室の様子。ザ・イタリアンマンマの先生！ レッスン前には必ず「カフェはいかが？」と声をかけてくれます。ピスタチオカラーのビッキエーレ（エスプレッソ専用器具）で淹れていただくエスプレッソは最高！

Lesson starts! Everything from the decorations in the room to the cooking utensils looks cute and makes me excited.
レッスンスタート！お部屋の飾り物はもちろん、調理器具まで全てが可愛いらしくてテンションが上がります。

I took a break from lessons and went on a 3-night, 4-day trip to Puglia! While I was horrified by the fact that the prices were 1/2 to 1/3 that of Florence, I was captivated by the beautiful sea of southern Italy, the contrast between the white city and the deep blue sky, and the deliciousness of the seafood.
レッスンをお休みして3泊4日のプーリア旅行！物価がフィレンツェの1/2〜1/3であることに慄きながら、南イタリアの美しい海や白い街と真っ青な空のコントラスト、海産物の美味しさに酔いしれる。

The vast vineyards of Primitivo. At the winery “CUTURI 1881” in Manduria, you will be guided through the organic cultivation of grapes, the wine-making process, and the life of Enologo, and you will taste 5 types of wine along with raw ham and cheese.
プリミティーボの広大な葡萄畑。Manduriaにあるワイナリー”CUTURI1881”で、葡萄の有機栽培からワイン醸造工程、エノロゴの暮らしぶりなどの案内を受け、生ハムとチーズと共に5種のワインテイスティング。

It was a very relaxing trip with lots of cats living in the winery.
ワイナリーに住み着く猫さんもたくさんで癒されすぎた旅。

The old town of Mesagne, where we will be staying, is relatively safe and has an atmosphere where you can enjoy walking in the morning and evening.
滞在先のメザーニェ旧市街は比較的治安も良く、朝晩の散歩も楽しめる雰囲気。

Southern Italy is all about the sea! ! The clear waters of Locorotondo and Polignano are the best views to cleanse your soul. Don’t forget your swimsuit when visiting! !
南イタリアはなんといっても海！！LocorotondoやPolignanoの澄んだ海は心洗われる最高の景色。往訪の際は水着をお忘れなく！！

The triangular pyramid-shaped trulli houses are a world cultural heritage site in Alberobello. The rooftop of the shop, named after the Japanese Yoko, is a luxurious space overlooking the “trulli” cityscape from a hill!
三角錐の形をしたお家“トゥルッリ”はAlberobelloの世界文化遺産。日本人のようこさんの名前を冠したお店の屋上は、高台からトゥルッリの街並みを見渡せる贅沢空間！

I returned to Florence, my hair being pulled back by the sun and wind of southern Italy. Before lessons resume, I went to the trattoria to share recipes with my fellow lesson mates! In the end, we had so many delicious dishes and stories that we couldn’t share a single thing, haha, but the experience of sharing the taste of each dish with fellow cooks and being able to communicate our thoughts in detail was an experience that would be hard to replace with anything else. became. “Bistecca alla Fiorentina” is also great!
南イタリアの太陽と風にうしろ髪引かれながら、フィレンツェに帰還。レッスン再開前に、同じレッスン仲間とお休みの間のレシピを共有するためトラットリアへ！ 結局、美味しいお料理とお話に花を咲かせて一つも共有できず笑　ですが、料理仲間と一皿一皿の味わいを共有し、細かに思いを伝え合える体験は何物にも変え難い経験になりました。ビステッカ・アッラ・フィオレンティーナも最高！

Collect ingredients for “Lampredotto” at the local supermarket “Esselunga”. Broad vegetables made with Italian vegetables are different from hydroponically grown vegetables in Japan! Each one is rich and delicious! ! I still need to make adjustments, but I will continue to grow by asking my cooking class teachers, roommates, and friends I made here to try it out.
地元のスーパー、エッセルンガでランプレドットの食材を収集。イタリア野菜で作るブロードは日本の水耕栽培の野菜とはわけがちがう！ひとつひとつ濃ゆくて美味！！まだまだ調整は必要ですが、料理教室の先生やルームメイト、こちらでできたお友達に試してもらいながら成長していこう。
