5th Week of Italian Cuisine in the World
On the occasion of the 5th Week of Italian Cuisine in the World, the Italian Cultural Institute Sydney together with the Italian Trade Agency in Sydney and the Federation of Italian Chefs in Australia would like to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Pellegrino Artusi’s birth by dedicating two videos to the famous Italian author.
Pellegrino Artusi published the cookbook La scienza in cucina e l’arte di mangiar bene (Science in the kitchen and the art of eating well) which is the very first Italian national cookbook after the unification of Italy in 1861.
He worked on this cookbook for over 20 years, collecting 790 recipes and publishing fifteen editions, all edited directly by the author from 1891 to 1911.
Two chefs from FIC Australia (Federation Italian Chefs in Australia) will illustrate two dishes from his cookbook, which is still inspiring chefs worldwide, presenting them in both their traditional and modern version.
The videos will be released during the 5th Week of Italian Cuisine in the World (23-29 November) and will be available to view on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/iicsydney
