EXOTIC TABLE: ENOTECA MARIA

August 15, 2011  |  Here’s the second webisode of my series Exotic Table.  In it, I take a trip to an Italian restaurant in Staten Island where grandmas are chefs and create the daily menu based on specialties from their particular region of Italy.  I learn a beautiful porcini mushroom pasta dish from Rosa Turano, a grandma from Vicenza.  After, I recreate the dish as Porcini Macaroni Pie for a ladies lunch.  Enjoy!
