In her cooking classes, Fulvia hands out advice, passes on her knowledge, makes suggestions and tastes the delicacies she has prepared, using her vivid imagination to inject old and new recipes with a dash of originality. Fulvia explains how lifestyles and social context have determined the evolution and popularity of traditional recipes in Italy and what causes certain forgotten dishes to enjoy a revival.
