My name is Maria I was born in 1979, I inherited this land from my father, place where he grew up, place where my grandparents lived with their 7 children. My grandmother took care of the stable and the house, her kitchen was a show with the wood oven and the hotbed, her food was magic, I think she could make a stone soup tasty too! I liked to cook with her, she taught me so many secrets, from her I inherited her cookbook. As a child I remember that on hot afternoons in July and August I wandered all over the land, I liked the smell of hay, the smell of stables, the smell of must and dreamed that when I grew up I wanted to plant the vegetable garden, milk the cows, pick grapes and make bread. And now here I am, fate has brought me here with my inheritances and my childhood dream: my land and my grandmother's cookbook to share with those who will have the pleasure of joining me 1 experience at 10: 00 menu' fresh pasta (withdrawal included)
