Cooking is hard stuff. There are recipes out there that would take advantage of project management methods. Take for example Cappelletti in brodo, a soup you can have in Emilia Romagna. To make it you have to prepare a broth with beef, chicken, pork sausage and vegetables, than save the broth for later and grind the meat together with parmigiano cheese, some grated bread and a little nutmeg until you have a uniform compound. Then, you make a mixture with flour and eggs, stirring until you get a compact and dry but still soft yellow bowl of dough. Then you make it flat with a rolling pin and cut it in squares 4-5cm wide. Then you put a small take of meat compound in each square, bend it and close it with a clever usage of your fingers, in the typical cappelletti shape. Then you make it rest for 8 hours, to make it dry and solid. Finally, you cook it in the original broth. Since recipes like this can easily keep you busy for a couple days, you should better get organized…

Grom is a gelato place in Florence. Well, they actually had their main shop in Turin and then opened branches in some other Italian cities. I think it’s one of the best gelato places in Florence, if not the best, and in fact I go there frequently.

One month ago I remember they announced the imminent opening of their new shop in Manhattan and I thought that was surely going to be a big success and now reading some blogs I know it is. Go Grom go!
