We planned a 5 day family trip to Rome and decided to ease into things by starting off with a cooking class and market tour. We were so blessed... read more to have Chef Misha as our guide. He is an amazing individual - well versed in Art, Cooking, Theater, History, Music, world travel - and even a lawyer. He is passionate about what he does and effortlessly connected with everyone in the family. He asked if we were in a hurry - and as we were not - extended the day with an informal tour of the Jewish ghetto. He was quite knowledgeable and really helped us ease into our first time in Rome. We then moved on to the market tour to buy things for lunch - pasta, chicken, fresh vegetables. Misha always emphasized this was about the experience - so of course introduced us to his favorite white pizza and an espresso at local shops. We did a lot of walking which got us hungry for our meal. He walked us through each part of making the pasta dough, kneading it, and using the machines to make it into pasta. We made an orange zest chicken to go with it along with fresh tomato sauce. Of course a meal wouldn't be complete in Italy without freshly made gelato too. All the while he played great music, had lots of laughs, served lots of wine and we talked and talked. Our family loved Misha so much - he is an amazing individual and will be a friend for life. Can't wait to see him the next time we go to Rome!
