Gentile Signora April ,
per gustare in città il sapore delle vacanze appena finite ecco 10 ricette preparate con prodotti provenienti dalla tradizione culinaria dei paesi mediterranei. La scuola di cucina è dedicata a un prodotto apprezzato nelle tavole di tutt'Italia per la sua versatilità, il merluzzo conservato, che, se sottosale, prende il nome di baccalà, mentre se fatto essiccare all'aria si chiama stoccafisso. E per esaltare il sapore delle verdure ecco 6 condimenti insoliti.
Buona lettura!
Buona lettura!
I signed up for this Italian cooking newsletter a few years ago and specifically remember asking them to send me the English version.
Every month this Italian one shows up.
I can catch a few words here and there, but most of the time I have no blinkin idea.
I have this "online translater" do some of the work for me.
I speak German and have attempted to see what their translation was and they do miss the mark quite a bit on some phrases .
It's always an adventure to see what the Alta Vista Babelfish Translater is gonna say about this monthly letter !
So here it goes:
Kind Mrs. April,
in order to taste in city the sapore of the vacations as soon as 10 prescriptions prepared here with coming from products from the culinaria tradition of the Mediterranean countries ended. The kitchen school is dedicated to a product appreciated in the tables of tutt' Italy for its versatility, the preserved cod, than, if sottosale, it takes the stockfish name, while if made dessicated to the air it is called stoccafisso. And in order to exalt the sapore of the vegetables here 6 unusual condiments.
Good reading!
.........OK.......

So much for online translation. I guess it would be a bad idea to try any recipes they send you. Unless you're feeling very, very adventurous. Hope the house thing is going well!
