Bikini Baking at Ziqu' at Villa Marina in Capri...

First of all, our tremendous kudos to Chef Gianfranco Gallo and all of his staff for inviting us into their kitchen at Villa Marina -- it is a rare thing for chefs (especially in a 5-star restaurant) to do and we are so grateful for openness. Also we appreciate his assistance in making sure we had all of the ingredients he could find that we needed. We improvised on a few things. As I was making the soup there was no such thing as chicken broth. They had no idea what brown sugar was, nor baking powder. So we did the best we could with only one casualty -- the popovers popped. But the chocolate chip cookies, even without the brown sugar, were amazing!

Here are some highlight moments in the kitchen preparing.
