Baronessa Cecilia's Television Appearance
Just a quick note to let you know that my friend and cooking school partner, Baronessa Cecilia Bellelli Baratta, will be featured on Tyler Florence’s new show, “Tyler’s Ultimate,” on the Food Network. Tyler turned to Cecilia for a lesson in making meatballs. You get to see a little of Naples. You get a glimpse of the water buffalo farm where you stay, eat, and cook when you come to Cook At Seliano. You’ll get a sense of Cecila’s great warmth and style. Plus, you’ll learn to make marvelous meatballs. [more]

Homemade Cake Mix

There are no cake mixes in Romania. [more]
