AB CATERING INVESTS IN GASTRONOMY COURSES - See Pictures!

02/02/07 - Founder and owner of AB Catering, went to Italy to attend a chef course on Italian gastronomy. It was three months of study in Cotiglioli D’Asti, at the Piedmont region, northern Italy. Now, as a graduated chef, she wants to share her experience with those privileged people who may enroll in gastronomy courses within a project to promote gastronomy as an art form. “The courses prepared by AB Catering are not intended to graduate culinary chefs; they are rather intended to ignite the passion for cooking as an art form, which helps making people more sociable”, the chef said.

The initial course, named “Viva Italia Dinner Cooking Class”, presented the Italian gastronomy and was provided by Marco Inglese, considered as “the best” chef at the famous Hotel Locanda Del Sant’Ufizzio, at the Piedmont region. “This is the first of a series of courses scheduled by AB Catering”, said teh Chef, who expects to optimize her kitchen and also use it as a gastronomy school.

Piedmontese people are experts in the art of Italian culinary and gastronomy traditions. For this reason, the course participants learned from Marco the gastronomy secrets of this Italian region and the importance of the region’s typical products, such as extra-virgin olive oil, truffles, milk, cheeses, grapes, and wines.

In this first course, Risotto was the main character. The participants learned and tasted the recipes of a Strawberry Risotto, Porccini & Mushroom Risotto and finally a Red Wine Risotto.
