Cooking Basics 101 Class – Session 2; Gelato in Boston’s North End

Post Date: 16 June 2015

Cooking Basics 101 Class – Session 2 – June 18

We will be following the same format as last week, salad, main course with vegetable, and dessert.  We will be starting with a healthy take on the traditional Waldorf Salad, substituting nonfat yogurt for mayonnaise, using Bibb lettuce, and making it into a wrap so they can also be served as finger food with your appetizers.

Our main dish this week is fish; we will be baking Tilapia with Italian seasonings, and our vegetable will be sautéed broccoli.  We will be making another no bake dessert, this time using marscapone, another soft Italian cheese, with strawberries.

Gelato at Caffe Vittoria in Boston’s North End  

I visited friends in Boston this past weekend.  On Sunday we went to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, and after the game headed to the North End.  We went to the Caffe Vittoria on Hanover Street for gelato and it was excellent.  Pictured above is strawberry.  We also sampled the cappuccino and banana as well, all excellent.  Definitely worth a trip if you are in Boston.
