ITALIAN OR ETHNIC? BETWEEN ITALIANS AND MIGRANTS THE CHALLENGE IS IN THE KITCHEN

In Rome the first show cooking designed to generate empathy and bring closer people belonging to different cultures. Special guest: Michelin-starred chef Cristina Bowerman.

Are recipes, dishes and flavours from different countries and cultures really so far from our own, the ones we are most used to? Culinary traditions, ingredients and the way of mixing them together change from culture to culture, but are the differences really so big?

We find out with a special show cooking organised by ASIA as part of the project Distinti ma non Distanti (funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation), in which three elderly people, witnesses of Italy’s culinary memory, and three young foreigners meet to cook the dishes of their traditions, discovering the many aspects they share despite being different, and thus developing empathic bonds that will help them understand each other and turn difference into a great value.

Divided into three pairs, each made up of an Italian and a foreigner, the protagonists will put together a multi-course menu which, from starter to dessert, will compare the Italian tradition with that of the other countries.

Special guest chef Cristina Bowerman, the star-rated signature of Roman cuisine, who will host the meeting, telling about differences and similarities between the different traditions.

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

The appointment is for Thursday 5 December at 6.30 pm at the kitchens of Casa Fluviale in Rome (Via delle Conce 3).

Admission is free but booking at info@asia-onlus.org is recommended, as places will be limited.
