Italy's culinary heritage and authentic flavours will be showcased through an exciting array of immersive activities during Italian Cuisine Week 2024 which will kick off on Saturday and run until Nov 22.
Presented by the Italian Trade Commission (ITA) and the Embassy of Italy, this is the ninth edition of an annual celebration of Italy's rich culinary traditions in Bangkok which, this year, also marks the celebration of Italian cuisine's candidacy for Unesco Heritage.
Throughout the week, Italian food aficionados will enjoy exclusive Italian dishes and special offers at select certified Italian restaurants across Thailand. They may indulge in the flavours of the specially curated delicacies while enhancing appreciation for Italy's culinary culture.
Exclusively on Nov 19 from 10am to noon, there will be a pastry masterclass held in collaboration with Alma The Food School, Bangkok's premiere institution for Italian culinary arts. It will be conducted by Italian pastry chef Angelo Belluzzi who will share authentic Italian pastry techniques, offering a taste of Italy's traditional desserts and inspiring culinary talents through his signature dish -- chocolate panna cotta with mou sauce and crumble. Space is limited. To enrol, email bangkok@ice.it.
