The two days of exceptional show cooking will culminate in a six-course dinner prepared by all 12 chefs and hosted by chef, author, restaurateur, and TV personality Lidia Bastianich at Eataly’s Birreria on 1st Nov.
Massimo Bottura and Paolo Marchi
“There's a huge demand for products of authentic Italian quality in the world today. We can no longer be satisfied with food that is only superficially Italian or that continues to promote stereotypes from the past," says IDENTITÀ GOLOSE Founder Paolo Marchi. “Our mission at IDENTITÀ GOLOSE is to share with the world Italy’s rich regional cuisines as it is interpreted in a contemporary context by these great Italian Chefs, who also add their own thoughts and unique experiences.” In addition to the cooking demonstrations, there will be hour-long wine classes at La Scuola di Eataly led by some of the most renowned wineries in Italy including: Allegrini, Antinori, Bastianich, Ferrari, Frescobaldi, Lungarotti, and Mirafiore as well as tastings of gastronomic specialties and products from regions across Italy.
