My American Dream

Picture by Nick Cornish

The Ohio River, Cinccinnati

After months  of planning ,the day finally  arrived for our departure  to America . First stop Cincinnati  , Ohio . I had  met  Karen and her husband Paul last year , the proud owners of a beautiful  house in Umbria called Rocco di Benano  . Luckily  for me they were looking for someone  to provide cooking classes  and catering for their guests.  The summer had gone amazingly  well and Karen suggested i come over to Cincinnati , her home town this winter and do a similar  thing. What a great opportunity  for me and Nick ,so obviously  i jumped at the chance.

On our arrival at  Dayton airport ,Karen was already waiting and a mad round of shopping began immediately.

On our first full day we were joined for lunch by  Kathy , a fanastic and beautiful  lady who had stayed  at Rocco  di Benano  and came to our house for a cooking class with her husband George and friends. I was so pleased to see her again.

After all the shopping it was time to get down to work and our first event,  a private dinner for a party . I was delighted  that my first outing was to be with a truly wonderful  couple i had met last summer also from Rocco  di Benano.  Honey and Neil our probably the jolliest people  you will ever meet and with the biggest harts . Just 2 minutes with Honey and Neil will put a smile on your face.  It was a lovely evening which i really enjoyed.

After  such a great start to our adventure , i  was eager for my next challenge  to begin ,two days of cooking classes,  followed by dinner for up to 22 people . No easy task , but absolutely  wonderful.  Everybody was so enthusiastic and friendly that i had a really great time. How welcoming  everyone was.

Our stay was nearly over and with just two private dinners to go ,i was starting to feel sad about having to leave Cincinnati. The first party was with a lovely lady called Ella who had an amazing kitchen and who I hope we can meet again soon. The second was with a really jolly and friendly couple Don and Michelle who are coming to Rocco di Benano this summer.

Now it really was time to be going and i want to say a big thank you to Karen and Paul for making all this possible  . A really big hug to my assistant  chefs Robert and Dee , but most of all  thank you to everybody in Cincinnati  for being so welcoming  and making my American dream come true.

Next stop North Carolina ……

    What a fun and exciting experience. Although I’ve enjoyed cooking all my life I learned so much in just a few hours with Simona. The class whet my appetite to try new recipes and rekindled my enthusiasm to have fun cooking. It was magical to see the collective efforts of twelve people turn piles of flour and a few eggs into beautiful pasta with Simona’s instruction. I’m quite certain we’ll meet again, next time in your home. Thank you.
