(August 5, 2016) This year the Foreign Minister organises the first edition of Italian Cuisine in the World Week (next 21-27 November) in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies. The Italian Cultural Institute ‘warms up their engines’ with an event that aims to highlight Italian gastronomic delicacies through the presentation of an Apulian recipe book. “Mammissima” by Elisabetta Minervini, on tour passing through Melbourne, will present recipes from her native region, Apulia. The visit in Sydney consists of two events, the first is organised by the Italian Cultural Institute in collaboration with Casa Barilla on August 9 at the headquarters of Barilla in Annandale, Sydney. Minervini will give a step by step demonstration of some of her recipes followed by a tasting prepared by Chef Andrea Tranchero of Casa Barilla. The following evening, on York Street, Minervini will host a Q&A with the public (PO/Red)
