watched a live cooking lesson
with chef isabella
working from her home kitchen
making pasta primavera
she’s italian, passionate, spirited, direct
naturally hysterical
i learned some techniques
as well as
her recipe, hand gestures, italian numbers, and lots of improv skills
at one point in the lesson
part of her burner broke
she just cursed and moved to another
there was a live feed for the 500 of us who were watching
at one point, her husband, pazzo, who was helping
made his own funny comment to the viewers on the feed
pazzo to everyone:
“omg, lmao. $100 says that stove is gone when the quarantine is over…if not sooner!”
no wonder they are married
no wonder it was all so fun
no wonder i’m going to make pasta primavera
brilliant, every minute.

Wonderful! I’ve seen her. In fact we’ve been watching loads of cooking shows. So much better then the news! Happy cooking 😊

“Pazzo” in Italian means “crazy”: is Pazzo the real name of Isabella’s husband or is it the nickname she gave him? 🙂

I would have to guess a nickname, judging by their demeanor. I love that you shared this, I had no idea, and it makes perfect sense –

Is that something we can view on one of the share platforms? Ytube, video etc…? This is funny because over lunch on the patio with wine from Puglia I told HH about the Italians living above us in my first wedded life as z v.young woman and how they so generously offered me their own home made dark green, cloudy olive oil in a 1.5l straw covered Chianti flask. They were loud, swearing, charming, singing and laughing and ever since I ADORED and ADORE the Italians. Sono tutti pazzi, gli Italiani.

Years ago I had a cooking show on TV — it was a 10 minute segment of a lifestyles show — it was great fun but wow – what a lot of work, even just for 10 minutes!
enjoy your pasts primavera cooking!
