Arclinea Event: Italia in Cucina: Live Cooking Day

Arclinea of Chicago held a very special event last night: Italia in Cucina. Billed as a worldwide cooking marathon, cooking demonstrations are being held in 21 different showrooms to support and celebrate artisanal Italian products. Selected by the Ministry for its international acclaim and innovative artistry, this major event is an exciting extension of the Italian Ministry of Agriculture's Made in Italy program, which serves to promote local Italian products.

Last night we were treated to an unforgettable feast: Italy's best wines, parmesan, various meats, olives, and an unforgettable asparagus risotto created in the beautiful Arclinea kitchen by Executive Chef of Phil Stefani's 437 Rush, Federico Comacchio.

Director Tina Cervone from the ICI attended, and Consul General Alessandro Motta of the Consulate General of Italy in Chicago provided the audience with an illuminating look into the goals of the Ministry program.
