You know me. You know I wouldn't be excited about a cooking class. Unless the recipe includes 24 fellow bloggers celebrating Italy’s King of Cheese: Parmigiano Reggiano® at the historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, FL during a fun evening of good food, fine flavors, camaraderie and team work led by the Biltmore’s award-winning Executive Chef David Hackett and organized by The Blogger Union.

Always handmade with high quality lactose-free milk with no additives and natural fermenting agents
Easy digestibility
Great source of energy, protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins.
It has one of the lowest cholesterol levels of any cheese.
Parmigiano Reggiano is made today with the same ingredients as nine centuries ago, in the same places, with the same wise ritual gestures, in a traditional way and with the same passion and loyalty. How many products in the market can say that?
Too many cooks in the kitchen was not a problem this time! We had the luxury of having Executive Chef David Hackett and Italian-born Chef Beppe, teaching and guiding us on every step, from peeling and cutting techniques to making fresh gnocchi!

Cheers!

Considering that 42% of polled customers over a two year period feel that their purchases are not worth what they are paying, this should be an item of concern. More value for the dollar is what consumers want. While this is difficult in the gourmet industry, those that shop gourmet foods should be aware they are getting a superior or even unusual item.

Conversely, the following citation attributes the first published recipe to another source. In spite of this conflict and disagreement, it is both intriguing and provocative to note that these published recipes from different sources appear within a narrow time-frame. From a probability point of view, unbelievably and in a riveting and suspicious coincidence, the two citations we have included, 1807 is the zero hour. One can only surmise that Intellectual Property Laws did not exist or apply in those days. But, the simultaneous publishing of these recipes in two different countries is informative and might offer an important clue to the “Marinara Cold Case File”.

When eating this incredible tasting pasta I understand what it takes to make food so inviting. It has many different yet, incredible savory sauces and different ways of being crafted it can easily be adapted in diverse culture which makes pasta that more interesting. The pasta dish has come a long way from its original creation in the 18th century with its ingredients that consisted of only egg , flour, cheese, and cream; however, it has evolved into a food of art that has my taste buds more in-tact. Its roman herbs and spices give me a feeling of warmth and cheerfulness at the time of eating. Food of this stature should be a crime given my opinion because of the texture and taste only keeps me coming back for more. This pasta comes second to none; it’s my choice over all when it comes to my favorite
This tasty treat has always been a favorite, even since its appearance on this earth over sixteen centuries ago.
