Italian Cookout Fall 2019

a Cookout event with ITALIAN 202 and 301 students

When
7 – 8 p.m., Nov. 22, 2019

On November 22, Borbi Gaspar and Letizia Bellocchio organized a Cookout event with ITALIAN 202 and 301 students. Students were cooking Italian dishes such as pizza margherita, fiorentina steak, and different kinds of homemade pasta, appetizers, and desserts in the UofA Nutritional Sciences department professional kitchen (Shantz Building). During this interactive and hands-on cookout event students had the chance to get to know many different traditional Italian recipes while they learned about the regional diversity of the Italian culture. This event was made possible thanks to an SFI Grant and the Lab Program Coordinator Constance Bell’s amazing support.
