The Culinary Institute of America was established 1946 and this particular Hall, once called the Alumni Hall, is today our dining room. If you wish, you can read more about it It look exactly as Harry Potter's Great hall and when visitors take tours at our school, the tour guides always compare them. I comepletly agree. I hope I can give you at least a part of that sensation and how it feels to be at the CIA. It is such a great feeling to sit down and eat in an atmosphere like that. There are so many kitchens you can eat from, you always have so many different types of desserts, and that all comes from student kitchens and bakeshops! That is a part of our everyday class! ;)
For example, I went to the Mediterranean kitchen and usually there is food from different countries that change every 3 days. Today was Italy and there were so many good things to choose from, but I felt like eating fish so I had sea bass with some veggies and these enourmous beans (as never seen before). They had freshly made pizza, pastas and also gnnochi with creamy sun dried tomatoes that Stacey had. PLUS, you always have all kinds of different anti pasti. mmmmm. I thought of you all and wished I had my camera with me.

I hope you enojeyed this lunch with me and I wish you all a nice weekend! :))
