Over the past two weeks I’ve shared with you about the Mamma Agata Cooking School on the Amalfi Coast, located in an absolutely dreamy spot in Ravello, and one of my favorite cookbooks called “Mamma Agata – Simple and Genuine.” My dear friend Chiara Lima, author of the cookbook and director of the Mamma Agata Cooking School, is about to head off to the USA for a tour celebrating her fabulous cookbook. I know many of my readers are located in America, and I’m excited to share with you the details about Chiara’s cooking and book signing events. If you love the Amalfi Coast and Italian cooking, you won’t want to miss out on meeting Chiara and picking up a copy of her cookbook. Best wishes and safe travels to Chiara as she travels across America sharing her family’s passion for cooking and the good life – Amalfi Coast style!

Will you be able to meet Chiara Lima during her USA Cookbook Tour?
Thanks for spreading the word about the cookbook tour! Sorry you’ll miss it but sounds like you are busy in the kitchen making Mamma Agata’s famous gnocchi! YUM!!!
Thanks for stopping by, Laura! 🙂 Oh…. YUM is right! Mamma Agata’s gnocchi are so lovely. It was the first time I made gnocchi, and the recipe was so easy to follow, and they came out very well. I’ll be posting about them soon!
Awesome! Can’t wait to see the photos and read about your first go at gnocchi!! Did you make it alla Sorrentina or another sauce?
Ciao Laura! I was so busy working away at them with my Mom that we forgot to take pictures of the steps along the way. But we did take a photo of the finished product…. Gnocchi alla Sorrentina just out of the oven. YUM!!
