Salve, I'm Alessandra
I was born in Italy 41 years ago on a warm day in July. I believe on that particular day, the sun was high in the sky, big and full of flour, eggs, tomatoes and olives. The air had the aroma of basil, rosemary, garlic and, I suspect, that my mum took me on her arms, went out on the sun, breathed deeply this air and then she kissed me. I'm sure about all that because since that moment I had the curiosity, the passion and the infinite love to cook.
Now life took me to the wonderful city of Des Moines, my cooking luggage is much bigger. I have with me the taste of the great French cheeses, the firm meat of Irish salmon, the hot Mozambican Piri-piri chicken, the soft toughness of Nigerian jam bread, and the colorful Mexican chilies, tacos and tamales.
What will I put next in my infinite luggage?

Salve a tutti!
I just came back from my wonderful vacations in Italy with a lot of new ideas, recipies and good spirit...I have to thank my dad's wine for that!!! Check out the new classes and you'll find the "Chitarra pasta", Risotto with Prosciutto and Pear, the Lombrichelli pasta and the wonderful Wine Cookies and more!
But the biggest news is: Cooking with Alessandra finally got it's own home! The cooking classes will be held in my new place which is in the East Village, 333 East Grand Ave, Loft 103 (across the street from Raygun and From Your Hands).
I hope to take full advantage of this new place and I'll start by organizing more classes: Tuesday mornings at 10:30 / Tursday afternoons at 6:30pm and Saturday mornings at 10:30am. Also now if you have a small group (max.15 people) for any of your events: birthdays, bachelorette party, or with any excuse at all just for fun, we can organize a private cooking class at my place!
And when you'll come in, you can see the beautiful pictures of my recent gastronomic trip to Italy in my beautiful city Viterbo.
Have a wonderful, great and splendid day,
Ciao a tutti e a presto,
Alessandra
