Tuesday 1st July, as the ideal continuation of this exclusive gastronomical experience, CHIC is organising an event reserve for professional chefs and those operating in the restaurant sector, at the Pietro D’Agostino Cooking Lab (Sicilian Food Academy) in Via Pirandello, 61, Taormina.
A new, convivial travelling formula, named the “In The Kitchen Tour”, presented for the second year by the CHIC association, the aim of which is to bring together chefs in a fun-filled jam session in the kitchen, with all their gastronomical know-how, to talk about and get to know products of quality, to study them, experiment with them and use them in innovative creations.
The set-up, whilst maintaining its entertaining and stimulating aspect, doesn’t change; each leg of the tour will see the involvement of chefs who best represent their territory, companies with their products, bloggers and journalists who will take part, observe and talk and write about their impressions through new social media.
Besides the previously mentioned nationally renowned partner companies Selecta, Koppert Cress, Riso Buono La Mondina, Acqua Valverde, the event will also see the contribution of FSG (with Steelite e Rona), Trabo (with Arcos, Isi and Kisag), Mauviel; in addition, companies that are symbolic of territorial excellence will be making appearances in the regions they represent. An opportunity to exchange ideas, to learn, to create and to taste...
