Besides culinary secrets and prepositions, they opened their lives to him, and made him a real part of their extensive family. Her daughter, Alessandra, taught him the language with patience and precision. His teachers were beyond his wildest dreams-he learned to cook from the grandmother, or Nonna, of the family, who prepared every meal in a bustling, busy household, as women in her family have done for generations. He would travel south of Tuscany to Viterbo, Italy and live with an Italian family. Armed with just enough courage, minimal Italian language skills, and a certain proficiency in the kitchen, he enrolled in a full-immersion cooking and language program. Several years ago, on a break between theatrical gigs in Alabama, Mark traveled to Italy and fell in love with the people, food and culture.
