ARANCINE WITH RICE AND MEAT

CHEF: CARMELO TRENTACOSTI

The origin of arancine can be placed during the Arab domination in Sicily, between the 9th and 11th centuries. The Arabs used to roll some saffron rice in the palm of the hand and then season it with lamb meat. Arancine are one of the most popular recipe in Sicily. They are the perfect street food, in fact we can find them in all the market stalls, and a delicious “antipasto” that you can find in the restaurant menus. According to the tradition, especially in Palermo, on St. Lucia’s Day pasta and bread are banned: you can eat arancine and all the rice products instead.

MEZZI RIGATONI ALLA CARBONARA

CHEF: FABRIZIO SEPE

Carbonara is one of the most discussed and best known dishes of Roman cuisine. It is said that pasta alla carbonara was created by a Roman chef in 1944. He took inspiration from the ingredients loved by the American soldiers: eggs, bacon and cheese. Many changes occurred over time, for example bacon has been replaced by guanciale.

TRADITIONAL RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS

CHEF: PATRIZIA FORLIN

Rice is divided into two main families which are Japonica and Indica. Over time, Italy has become the largest European producer of rice of the original Japonico strain. The Indica variety, with elongated and narrow grains, is a quality of rice with low quantities of starch. It is the most used for pilaf and oriental cooking because the grain remains fragrant and shelly. The most marketed in Italy are Patna, Jasmine and the best known Basmati.

Grandmother's cake is excellent both at the end of a meal and as a breakfast dessert. Just a few delicious ingredients give life to this cake, a classic of Tuscan pastry. In his memoirs Pellegrino Artusi speaks of it as a "pleasant and poor pastry" from which a "dessert with pine nuts and custard" is obtained.
