Now i need to learn Italian

a lovely surprise in the mail today, @domenicodocaro sent me a copy of the cookbook that is illustrated with his photographs. Small problem it is in Italian! .

[kali]

@domenicododaro thankyou so much friend, I am delighted :D

[kali]

@shannejw I used this method of black and white conversion first up, using a hue/saturation layer set to luminance blending mode which is pretty simple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCagifgeNuw&t=220s

[Annie D]

What a wonderful surprise! It will fun or frustrating trying to translate and cook at the same time hahahahaha

[Adi]

what a nice surprise. Now we need to see some pictures of your cooking :P

[kali]

@annied @adi314 I will start with the pesto... seems straightforward haha

[Jane Pittenger]

Lol!

[jackie edwards]

How fun! Best of luck with translating and cooking!

[ShomariOnTV]

Nice shadows

[Annie D]

@kali66 hahahaha and I'm sure you have a heads up on ingredients lol

[Lou Ann]

What a wonderful gift. What fun! (Easy for me to say.)

[Trinka]

You can do it!

[kali]

aglio,, basilico, olio, pinoli, sale, parmigiano @annied

[Shiloh]

Italian cooking is a language we should all learn to speak! :D Happy translating!

[Yao RL]

Time to start cooking, You are the lucky lady.

[haskar]

Great opportunity to learn Italian and how tasty!

[Shanne]

Great present and it's a challenge, learning Italian (I had a go working with a student with language needs, problem was he spoke Sicilian). This works - did you enjoy having more control over your black and white conversion?

[kali]

@shannejw it may not have been the most interesting image to try it on, so i will look into it further during the week.

[Clare Gadsby]

delightful how 365-ers make connections! my 82-year-old mother is currently in puglia spending a week improving her italian language and cooking skills :)

[kali]

@louannwarren @trinkaholub @twofeet @yaorenliu @haskar I will report back once i have figured some out!

[kali]

@pistache Oh good on her, i hope to be so adventurous at her age :)

[craigwantsnack]

How awesome! It’s easy tho - you take the pizza out of the box, then put the pizza in the oven (turn oven on first)

[kali]

@craigwantsnack ah ok, book must be pretty long-winded lol

[Joan Robillard]

Well you can enjoy the photos

[Domenico Dodaro]

Oh, come on, it's easy-peasy! context.reverso.net or translate.google.com work wonders! Very proud of this shoutout!

[kali]

@domenicododaro your photos look great on the paper, nice little book :) I will try to make some to the recipe

[Wendy]

@domenicododaro
Congrats on getting published, Domenico! A great shot of the cookbook, Kali with lovely light and shadows on it.

[Helen Jane]

Oh lucky you. What a great gift from our multi-talented friend. Great job on the photography Kali, it is a such a well crafted presentation - love the shadow decoration.

[Henri Russell]

Google has a good translation feature. What a special gift.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Lovely present!

[Corinne]

Google translate is my best friend !
I have also an app on my iPhone called "translate photo +" : you take a photo and the translation follows in 10 seconds...I use it almost every day.. (I live in Switzerland and still didn't manage to speak a correct german !), but a lot of différents languages are available ... good luck and buon appetito !

[kali]

@cocobella wow , it can translate text from a photo? thats magic

[Domenico Dodaro]

@farmreporter thank you, Wendy! I was hoping for an English translation...

[Domenico Dodaro]

@kali66 don’t hesitate to call for any doubts! Thank you!

[Sheralee S]

Gosh, for a minute I thought you were heading off to Italy!!

[David]

Lucky you.. but not sure you deserve it! I mean, this is no way to treat a cookbook even if it is a good edit!

[David]

@domenicododaro Is there no end to your talents?

[Domenico Dodaro]

@yrhenwr Hahaha, thank you so much, but yes, there are so many limits! Only talent - as my wife use to say - is selling very well the little I have ;)
