Last week, we headed to Michal's Uncle Brian's restaurant, The Cutting Board, in Ridgefield, Connecticut (http://www.cuttingboardct.com/). There we learned some knife skills and the basics of spices. After chopping a bunch of onions, carrots and squash, we watched the dishes transform from raw vegetables to delicious meals.

While we were learning from Brian, our friend Melissa stopped by to join in the fun. We can't wait to get started in Israel!

Tip: When cooking pasta, add a pinch of salt to the water to flavor the pasta. Adding oil to the water will not keep the pasta from sticking together. First, shock the pasta so it stops cooking by running the pasta under cold water. Once you have shocked the pasta, adding a little olive oil can help to prevent sticky pasta.
