Notiziario Ufficiale del Circolo Italiano di Dallas Gennaio 2014 Vol 35 Num 1 CHEf GINA STIPO RETURNS TO THE ICD
The ICD welcomes Chef Gina Stipo back. Gina will cooking Cena for the month of January while she is visiting the US. Gina Stipo is an Italian American chef who for the past 14 years has lived, worked and studied Italian cuisine from her perch on the Montagnola hills just south of Siena in Tuscany. As the owner of Ecco La Cucina, she teaches cooking classes and holds wine education and culinary tours for international visitors to the area. Gina loves to share her passion for Italian food and wine and in addition to teaching, writes a blog about food and her experiences in Italy under the title At the Italian Table. Each winter, Gina visits the United States to lead workshops on Italian cuisine and teach classes at culinary schools, universities and private homes. Gina visits Dallas each year and has taught at both Central Market and Market Street United cooking schools. She has often been the guest chef at the Italian Club of Dallas and has conducted several olive oil and balsamic vinegar tastings there.
Growing up in an Italian-American family on the east coast, Gina was immersed in the southern Italian dishes that reected the family heritage. Working in the family garden, she developed a strong respect for ingredients. Years spent as a child in Verona in northern Italy only strengthened her desire to learn more about the regional differences that make up the complex country of Italy. Ginas cuisine focuses on the simplicity and seasonality of the Italian table. Living in Italy fulltime for many years gave her the opportunity to visit the many regions that make up the country, working with both professional chefs and home cooks to learn the regional differences and traditions that comprise the worldrenowned cuisine of Italy. After classical training at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York City in 1997-98, Gina worked with Odette Fada at San Domenico restaurant in New York before moving to Atlanta to gain additional restaurant experience, working at both Veni Vedi Veci and Babettes Cafe. In 2000 she moved to Tuscany to work on the agricultural estate of Spannocchia, managing their kitchen and developing their current culinary program, teaching Tuscan cuisine to their guests and writing the estate cookbook. Gina opened her own school in 2001 Ecco La Cucina, which means heres the kitchen. She authored the cookbook Ecco La Cucina, a collection of traditional recipes from the Siena area. We are delighted to have Gina in our kitchen for Month of January.

PRINCETON
A typed version of this story is preserved in the library of Princeton University, where it can be consulted only on strict conditions: you are required to le two documents, enter without a computer, phone or camera in a remote area, and then read it in the presence of an employee of the library. The other two probably date back to 1946, and may be a copy of two accounts of the same title held at the University of Texas in Austin that can also be consulted with the same restrictions. The best-known expert on Salinger, Professor Kenneth Slawenski has conrmed to various U.S. media that the three texts that appeared online are really unpublished Salinger, faithful transcriptions of the original texts. So there are two mysteries: who took over those three short stories in 1999, and who put them on sale on eBay? These questions will likely remain unanswered. We only know that the person who put them on the public le sharing site has signed it as G. T. Binary (The binary system is the basis of the language of the computer). by Anna Guaita J.D. Salinger was an American writer who won acclaim early in life and led a very private life for more than a half-century. He published his final original work in 1965 and gave his last interview in 1980. Salinger ( January 1, 1919 January 27, 2010) died of natural causes at his home in Cornish, New Hampshire.
