On Sunday, April 17, I appeared at the Sacramento Italian Cultural Society to sign copies of Flavors of Friuli. Following my slide presentation that highlighted Friuli’s culture, geography, and architecture, as well as many of the region’s traditional dishes, I demonstrated the preparation of balote (cheese-filled polenta balls), which guests were then able to sample. Thank you to Bill Cerruti and all the volunteers who made this event possible!
Bill Cerruti and the volunteers for the Italian Cultural Society deserve a great big Thank You. I was not there to try the cheese-filled polenta balls but they sound awesome. Your cookbook will make a great gift for Christmas.
