Italian Cooking Class: Eggplant Saute, Orzo, Panzanella, Polenta (and Blueberry Crisp)

Today was the second of six classes of my Ethnic Vegetarian Cooking series. My students made a variety of tasty dishes: an eggplant saute, orzo, polenta, panzanella (bread salad), and blueberry crisp. I ask my students to compete for the most attractive plate, and this is this week's winner.

The food was very good, and I am so happy to have such a fun group of students who seem to really have hit it off working together. They worked well to allow us plenty of leisurely time to enjoy dinner together. All enjoyed the food!
