Taking her Mother’s life as the basis for her talk, Marylisa Browne gave a fascinating discourse on the experiences of an immigrant to England in the years after Word War II.  Marylisa used video clips of her Mother speaking about her early life in the Friuli region and her experiences as a cook in Switzerland, Venice and then England where she came for six months to improve her English and which subsequently became her home.  Marylisa took us through the various courses of an Italian meal, from antipasto to dolce, the ingredients used and cooking methods. She rounded off her ‘pasto’ with a sample of home-made tiramisu for all present.
