ITALIAN OR ETHNIC? IN MILAN THE SECOND COOKING CHALLENGE BETWEEN ITALIANS AND MIGRANTS

EVENT POSTPONED

After a comparison with our guests and partners, and having taken note of the current public ordinances, we are forced to postpone the showcooking event that was to be held on Wednesday 26 at Food Loft in Milan.

The Coronavirus emergency situation does not allow us to dedicate the right space to the initiative.

After the first meeting in Rome, chef Simone Rugiati will lead at his Food Loft a new show cooking to bring together people belonging to different cultures.

Are the recipes, dishes and flavours of different countries and cultures really so far from the ones at home we are more used to? Culinary traditions, the ingredients and the way of mixing them together change from culture to culture but are the differences then so great?

After the first appointment in Rome of last December in the company of the Michelin-starred chef Cristina Bowerrman , the special show cooking organised by ASIA returns to Milan within the Distinti ma non Distanti project (funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation), in which three witnesses of Italian culinary memory and three young foreigners meet to cook the dishes of their traditions, rediscovering bonds that will help them to understand one another and to make of difference a great value.

Divided into three pairs each made up of an Italian and a foreigner, the protagonists will compose a menu of various courses that, from the starter to the dessert, will compare the Italian tradition with that of the other countries.

Special guest chef Simone Rugiati, who will lead the meeting recounting differences and similarities between the different traditions.

A meeting and comparison between distant experiences, not only from a culinary and gastronomic point of view, but also cultural and generational, to bring out the points of contact, the similarities and the possibilities of convergence and sharing that are created when individuals put themselves on the line, entering into empathy with one another.

The appointment is for Wednesday 26 February at 6.00 pm at the Food Loft in Milan (Via Luca Signorelli, 9). EVENT POSTPONED
