We all know and praise “Italian Cuisine” which is though an abstract concept as “Mediterranean Cuisine” is.

In fact, in Italy there are several regional culinary traditions that are influenced by a particular history, culture or environment and that differ from each other because of the many different ingredients and methods of cooking.

For this reason we decided to begin our journey to discover Italian regional cuisine.

We will enjoy authentic regional dishes and come to understand and better appreciate the local areas where these great traditions originated

Italiano

Dopo Toscana, Abruzzo, Liguria, Veneto, Sicilia ed Emilia Romagna, prosegue il viaggio alla scoperta della cultura regionale attraverso l’enogastronomia .

L’Altra Italia, che da anni organizza eventi a carattere gastronomico, ha voluto creare un’iniziativa, un appuntamento fisso per i nostri soci.

L’enogastronomia e l’atmosfera conviviale sono abbinati alla poesia, alla musica, alle storia, al folklore che così tanto distinguono le nostre venti regioni.

Tutti conosciamo e decantiamo le lodi della “cucina italiana” , un concetto astratto quasi quanto quello della “cucina mediterranea”. In realtà in Italia esistono tradizioni culinarie regionali che si differenziano tra loro per l’uso di prodotti tipici del territorio e per metodi di cottura legati a influenze storico-culturali e ambientali: pensate all’assurdità di trovare in Sicilia, terra di pesce prelibato, una bella sogliola alla mugnaia cotta nel burro!

Per questo abbiamo deciso di promuovere questo viaggio attraverso la cucina delle regioni, che ci permetterà di gustare piatti prelibati e studiati, per arrivare ad apprezzare meglio il territorio dal quale nascono e, per quanto possibile, la natura dei perché.

Ad aiutarci nella realizzazione di questo programma è l’ufficio ICE di Toronto, diretta dal Dott. Pasquale Bova, al quale vanno i nostri più sentiti ringraziamenti. Ai rappresentanti dell’ICE, di volta in volta, si affiancheranno personaggi che conoscono approfonditamente la Regione in oggetto e che ci aiuteranno a carpirne i segreti e le curiosità.
