Montasio in Simona's right hand and cabra al vino (lovely purple cheese) and caerphilly on the cheese mat.
Simona Carini is what I would call an Extreme Cook. Her recent experiments have led to cheese-making and she has traveled to the east coast to take an advance class. She is a free-lance writer and has written articles for the food section of the North Coast Journal and Edible East Bay. Her blog Briciole began as a effort to help people who struggle with pronunciation with Italian words (mostly food related) but has blossomed to include instructions and photos of her latest food adventures.
