Foodies Take Note: A Good Meal From Quartetto Gelato

You've likely heard on Classical 101 Quartetto Gelato violinist and tenor Peter De Sotto as a stand-out soloist on his quartet's delicious, accordion-laden interpretations of everything from Puccini to popular songs. Now hear De Sotto talk about his other passion: cooking. If he weren't a musician, De Sotto says he would have become a chef - even though the prospect of eating an egg roll once frightened him. In the video above, De Sotto talks about his passion for food and shares his recipe for what he calls "Pasta Piselli alla Gelato." Hmm ... wonder what he recommends for dessert.

Jennifer Hambrick unites her extensive backgrounds in the arts and media and her deep roots in Columbus to bring inspiring music to central Ohio as Classical 101’s midday host. Jennifer performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago before earning a Ph.D. in musicology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
