Windows in time. They say that life is made up of moments, which sharpen your sensesand reinforce your sight. All comes together, and you realize how fortunate youare to be in the moment, and recognize it for what it is.
This is the feeling that overcomes you sitting on Mamma Agata's terrace, high upin the clouds in a jewel of a small Italian town called Ravello. Water surroundsyour view and the air is like white gold. On the table before you are numerous littledishes holding secrets that taste like treasures. You can't stop eating everything,in between the stories and colour that make up the conversation.
She prepares a meal with both the love and respect that it commands. She has beencooking most of her life; since her teenage years in the nearby summer villa ofa wealthy American woman, who had entertained many illustrious personalities inthe 50's 60's.
Either cooking for a large gathering or an impromptu poolside lunch, the approachwas always the same. Traditional dishes with regional ingredients replaced formalones and Mamma Agata always remembered her guests' favourites. When Fred Astairecame to call, after a lunch of spaghetti alla puttanesca, he would waltzthe hostess's elderly mother around the courtyard. Humphrey Bogart was more reserved,and quietly ate his alici fritti while taking in the view. The pasta e fagioliwas a dish exclusively reserved for Anita Eckberg, a gloriously tall woman withskin like milk. But, my favourite memory that Mamma Agata shared with me is thatof Jacqueline Kennedy, who impressed her with "un eleganza molto simplice"an elegant simplicity that was unique only to her, enjoying mozzarella and tomatosalad beside the pool.
In the last 14 years, Gennaro has joined in the kitchen and cooks side-by-sidewith Mamma Agata every day and each of them are such great cooks and although theyhave different techniques, they both reach the most amazing results - deliciousfood with wonderful flavours and Simple and Genuine cooking, of course!
There is a nice parallel between Gennaro's and Mamma Agata's story. They both sharea huge passion for cooking from a very young age, and they both spent their yearsas young adults working in the culinary field and now of course, they share theirpassion for food and wine with the guests at the Hidden Treasure.
Gennaro is not only a great cook but also a Professionally Certified Sommelierand a member of AIS (International Sommelier Association),which is the officialItalian organisation that recognizes highly acclaimed sommeliers throughout Italy.Membership in this prestigious club is difficult to obtain and boasts some of thebest wine connoisseurs in the world.
