Last night Le Mandorelle

For our last dinner at the house we arranged for some wonderful cooks from the area to come in to
  prepare a feast of Italian favorites. Here Daniella rolls out the dough for homemade pasta.,

It was a five course menu and took 4 hours to prepare.
 The cooks picked fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits
 from the garden at Le Mandorelle for some of the dishes.  

Daniella was a delightful addition to our evening.
 She explained to us about all the preparations and recipes.

We ate incredible cold farro salad, warm lentil soup, homemade pasta with fresh tomato sauce, roast chicken and cake baked on the spot with grapes and whipped cream.


We ate our sumptuous dinner in the lemonaria one last time while listening to the rain outside.
 It was the perfect ending to our week in Todi.
