These two pictures are from the Amalfi Coast - matted and framed by my wonderful husband and in-house framer! The one on the left is a lithograph that I purchased from a street artist in Positano. It shows off the lemon trees, amazing turquoise waters, sail boats, and the lovely town strewn over the mountainside.
The second is the wine label for the estate made wines of Mama Agata's cooking school in Ravello. Our group took an unforgettable all day cooking class with Mama Agata and her lovely daughter, Chiara. They grow on their mountainside terraces all of their lemons, herbs, tomatoes, grapes, olives, assorted other vegetables. They make their own limoncello, olive oil, wine, tomato sauce. Their wine label captures some of the beauty of their lovely place. We learned to cook lemon chicken, sausage with peppers and onions served over pasta, eggplant parmesan that was the best ever eaten by all of us -including the professed eggplant haters! We also cooked a savory fritter with minced herbs, prosciutto, cheese - and the batter would be delicious as a sweet fritter as well. We learned to make a basic marinara sauce and Mama Agata's famous lemon cake.
