4. QUESTION OF THE DAY




5. INSPIRATION


“Planning a dinner party in a way that you’re actually capable of getting it done without panicking is important. It’s bad hospitality for the host to be freaked out.”







“The honorable and upright man keeps well away from both the slaughterhouse and the kitchen. And he allows no knives on his table.”

Confucius

The biography of Confucius

The Moscardino - one of the most curious inventions in contemporary Italian design. It serves as a fork and a spoon at the same time. A perfect tool to have for the Milanese Aperitivo that was designed by Giulio Iacchetti.

A project of Giulio Iacchetti - Coltelli Inutili.  


A project by George Laramy patented in 1907 - the spork.

¨Frankfurter Kuche¨, Germany, 1920’s, - A kitchen based on the concept of scientific management to improve efficiency and productivity, the Frankfurt kitchen was designed to maximize functional, spatial and economical factors. The mother of all modern kitchens!

6. HOMEWORK 


I have prepared a light dinner for me and three friends. In the cooking process, I took a picture of cooking tools. In a short caption I will say if I managed properly all the tools. Then, I must tell about my social tools (if everything went well, if my friends seemed happy and comfortable).



All I did was a soup with green beans and carrots. My friends are vegetarian. It was the first time I invited them. I am not vegetarian but I eat few meat and fish. I set the table with dark bread, olives, wine. They brought a green lasagna. They explained how they do it. No meat, just green things. And they use soy milk. It was pretty good. We had no music on because we had a lot to talk about since it has been maybe one year since we met. For me it was fun to know because I'm fond of vegetarian cuisine and I think I will become a veggy some day.

7. FLOWERS FOR FRIENDS
