On March 14 at 4pm, the Greenbelt 5 Activity Center will be the hub for everything Emilia-Romagna. Emilia-Romagna, of course, is that region in northern Italy very much popular for its culture — food, music, cinema, and even sports. Its capital is Bologna.
The Italian Embassy, under Ambassador Massimo Roscigno, and Casa Artusi Philippines, headed by Margarita Forés, will launch Cucina all’Opera, Musica e Cibo in Emilia-Romagna (The Operatic Kitchen, Music and Food in Emilia-Romagna), a book celebrating the food and music of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.
It features short biographies of legendary musical masters of the country like Arcangello Corelli and Gioachino Rossini, their indelible contributions to the society, and traditional recipes promoting quality produce. Written by Giancarlo Fre and translated into English by his wife, Margherita Spinazzola, the book provides a unique literary, musical and gastronomic taste of Italy.
The three-day event will be supported by a cooking class hosted by Forés and Casa Artusi Executive Chef Carla Brigliadori on March 10 at 2pm. There will be a special one-night-only Artusi degustazione dinner on March 13. Both events will be held at Alta, Forés’ new restaurant located at the Ascott Residences, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
For reservations and more information, please call Anna Lopez at +63 2 7290030 or +63 917 5138945.
