Enoteca Maria

Posted on March 27, 2009 - by admin

Gaia from Milano, Lombardia

Our Grandmas

Gaia Bagnasacco

Gaia Bagnasacco comes from Milan, known for its abundance of cream, milk, and cheese in the region of Lombardia. She spent much of her time in Tuscany and learned to cook from her mother who hosts a bed and breakfast in Siena where Gaia fused the cuisine of Milan and the Tuscan region into her own brand of traditional Italian cooking with a contemporary flair. Gaia regularly returns to Italy to visit family.

Return to the Grandma main menu.

    Gaia, Hello

    Cynthia and I had a late diner at Enoteca Friday, July 3. We were seated at the bar and we had a great veiw of the action taking place in the resturant. The place was packed as it usally is and the food is the greatest in the city.
    I want to let you now, Gaia, that the meal you prepared for Cynthia was I was the finest meal I can remember since the passing of my mother who died in 1992. The preparation and the flavor of the food was wonderful. What can I say? I had a religious or better yet a spirtual experience as I had the honor of eating the meai you cooked. To be lucky to access to your cooking is truely one of the real joys of life. I am grateful that there are people like you who enjoy their talent and give so freely to other.

    All the best,
    Stephen Modica
