My profile of storied Italian butcher Dario Cecchini and his recent trip to Portland appears in this week's FoodDay section of the Oregonian.
Cecchini said of this shot, "Two pig."
There was so much to this story that I couldn't squeeze into the article, so I hope to post about it in the future. But for now, you can read what I think of as Part One: "Portland Butchers Learn from an Italian Master of the Craft."
Grazie Kathleen,
ReplyDeletela nostra breve visita a Portland è stata una bellissima esperienza, ricca di entusiasmo per noi e per voi.
Lo deduco dal tuo articolo, così esauriente.
Hai compreso e descritto il mio lavoro con professionalità e affettuosa partecipazione.
Con il tuo pezzo riesci sicuramente a mettere in chi legge il desiderio di una visita in Chianti
Abbiamo trovato a "Nostrana" un ambiente caloroso e tanti nuovi amici che ricordiamo con affetto e nostalgia.
A te complimenti e ancora un grazie di cuore
