Penne a la Carbonara. Mmmmm. Recipe from Food Network

Thank you so much for the great class! I've made salsa many times in the past, but it's always been of the Salsa Mexicana variety. Your class has given me the knowledge and inspiration to branch out and try something new. I made the Salsa de Chile de Arbol last night, and boy does it pack a punch. It also has a flavor quite unlike any salsa I've had before. It was great.

I was there about a year ago, but unfortunately I can't comment on the restaurants there. I was only there a day and self catered. I was staying near Oneroa, so I walked to a market there to pick up some food. The fresh produce looked nice (I picked up some yummy kiwi fruit) but the rest of the stuff on the shelves was pretty lacking. The market was pretty tiny. I don't know if there's anything larger on the island, I think Oneroa is the largest town. Waiheke was absolutely beautiful. I plan on going back in a few years. Enjoy yourself!
