    But would blind tasting, when the faster doesn't know about the change, make a difference? Knowing that it was cooked differently will probably affect someone's perception of they are keen cooks. I am guessing that most people wouldn't notice any difference.

    • @PiazzaTalkLucca
      @PiazzaTalkLucca 28 днів тому

      I made more tests with this cooking method and I came to the conclusion that if one uses a rich abundant sauce it is difficult to spot the difference, nevertheless if one tries just the pasta cooked with this method in my opinion it tastes slightly slimy.

    So that's a likely reason why the grass in the churchyard opposite me and the field next to it is overgrown. I assumed the town council had met with insuperable financial difficulty - maybe not.

      Some of the ravioli shown in the pictures were made by me and we often make home made pasta. The ones that came from the shop were about 11 Euros and we had four generous portions. For the ragù I made a quick recipe as we wanted to eat the ravioli the same day and it worked very well.

    Grazie for all of your wonderful videos and commentary. You are helping me so much in planning my upcoming visit to Italy. We will be staying in Lucca for several nights and simply can't wait! Peccioli seems like it would make a wonderful day trip from Lucca. When you go on the travel websites (Fodors, Rick Steves) you see many typical day trip recommendations such as Volterra and San San Gimignano. Thanks to you I am thinking that instead we might want to check out Peccioli! Would you advise that a weekend visit might be better than a weekday. Would it be a mistake to go on a Sunday. We visited Pietrasanta which seems somewhat similar and were advised to go on a weekend for a better experience. Thanks again! -- Rose

      @PiazzaTalkLucca 2 місяці тому

      Peccioli was a bit off the beaten track until they won an award "Borgo dei Borghi 2024" as Italian Village of the year. We went in July last year on a Tuesday, market day. There were not very many visitors. It was hot and we had a rest and a drink in the little bar in Ghizzano, the coloured hamlet. I know that there are many events in the summer including open air concerts, where Andrea Bocelli, who is from nearby Lajatico might sing, but at the moment there is not yet a program as far I can understand. There are more sculptures to discover, we didn't see all of them and one needs a car to explore the area.

    Hey Enzo. You are not only a cook, you are a great chef and teacher. I just retired from owning four restaurants and cooking in them for over 30 years. I have learned more from you in the last two months, and look forward to using your methods and recipes. The zucchini pasta was so simple and delicious. I crave it. Thank you for your time and effort. Michael PS. I do know what I am talking about. I've won many awards and even graced the pages of National Geographic Traveler magazine.

      Ciao Michael, thank you so much for your lovely comment and appreciation. I am really humbled. I love cooking traditional Italian recipes as I saw them prepared endless times by my mother and my grandmothers. I've made some updates in some recipes replacing lard by olive oil. Sometimes I might look a bit pedantic but my purpose is to make sure I show every step clearly.

    Thank you for the fashion tips and advice from Jasmine. Where can we go in Lucca to purchase lovely, comfortable and reasonably priced shoes? Also, would you please consider making a similar video for men's fashion? Love your videos!!!

      For shoes, there are several shops. I like Panda in Via Fillungo , they also have an outlet, also Palma in Piazza San Michele. Interesting idea a video for Men's packing.

    Fantastic recipes and thank you also for the tips on staying cool in the flat without AC, which make sense but not something we Americans from Florida are used to. Lovely walk along the lakes. Can't wait to explore the Garfagnana ourselves! Grazie mille!

      Thank you. Many Italians still don't like AC. I find it gives me a continuous runny nose. We don't even use fans with this method. Our houses also have very thick walls and are built to stay cool in the hot months. I think it is different in a city. Traditionally Italians left cities in the hot months but nowadays AC is changing everything. Garfagnana has wonderful lakes and they are great places to swim and be cool in the summer.

      We had driven past so many times without stopping but so glad we took the time to discover this little city. The area is very interesting in the hills with all the marble caves.

    Those were some tough times to overcome. So glad it brought the village together. We really enjoy watching your videos so much. Grazie mille!

      Covid was a hard time in Italy with very strict rules but the community in the village was incredible. The village shop organised that food was delivered in a safe way.
