More than a manual, more than a recipe book: “Tradizione in Evoluzione – Arte eScienza in Pasticceria” (Tradition in Evolution - art and science in pastry making) isthe evolution of what in publishing is called a best and long seller, that is the “Ma-nuale della Pasticceria Italiana” (Italian Pastry Maker’s Manual) by Chiriotti Editori. Atrue encyclopedia of more than 800 pages, written in Italian with intense passionand a profound professionalism by Leonardo Di Carlo

After three years of “gestation” we are proud to present “Tradizione in Evoluzione – Arte eScienza in Pasticceria” (Tradition in Evolution - art and science in pastry making). More than amanual, much more than a recipe book, a real instrument for the workshop to read, read again,consult, underline, comment… Over 800 pages and more of recipes divided into pastry ma-king types, covering all the topics that make handmade pastry making great. A manual, whichis exhaustive in every detail in order to make it usable and useful for all. Scientific and techni-cal explanations, in depth practical advice, recipes, variations, merits, defects, schematized pro-cesses, notes and tricks all experienced “firsthand” by the author, Leonardo Di Carlo, whowanted to transfer all this experience onto every page, all his studies and experiments. Leo isin fact a professional who is never satisfied with what he already knows, but continues to mea-sure himself against his colleagues on an Italian and international level, including experts in re-lative fields (from chemistry to biology…), researching books and doing research in theworkshop, always searching to satisfy himself and others, first of all the true handmade pastrymaking being close to his heart, fruit of tradition and evolution, as expressed in the chosentitle. A creative approach to a scientific and rigorous pastry making.This professional volume is therefore the result of a complex and reasoned work, because thewish of the author and the editor is that of offering an instrument – we repeat the term becausewe consider it the best to describe this new book – which every professional, every enthusiast,anyone can personalize, make it their own depending on their needs, tastes, customer re-

quests… All the basics necessary to build apersonal path, at the same time emotionaland rational, able to increase the knowledgeof what one does and how one does it.Today this editorial project is a manual in thetrue sense of the word, with photos and re-cipes. A single volume which collects toge-ther the notions, in order to simplify theconsultation. For more than 30 years, ac-tion after action, we have always acted notonly for financial ends, but mainly for thegood of the sector, and the craftsmen. Notinstrumental choices, but ones mediated bythe desire to spread culture, to help thesector grow by stimulating, helping and su-staining it.There is a lot more that can be said aboutthis manual, but there is no need to slip intoself congratulations. We invite you to read it,to reason it, to use it, to consume it, to turndown the pages, to underline in it, to stain itin the workshop... You can find information about the book andits contents, about the backstage, and alsovideos and updates about appointments withthe author on www.tradizioneinevoluzione.it,the website where the book “comes to life”and evolves over time.Why such a detailed and complete book?

Because it is what I have always dreamt tofind on the shelves of the libraries over theworld.What does it mean writing a professional

manual?

A tremendous effort, but a great satisfaction.All that you give away, will come back to you!Why should we buy it?

Because “I” really wrote it with the intent tosimplify and make the most complex notionsimmediately understandable.How much time have you dedicated to it?

To tell the truth, I made the first draft in 2006,

then, reasoning and maturing, more thanthree years.Where did you start from?

Custard, and it was hard. I saw an immensething to do and it seemed unreachable.The most exciting moments of this “gesta-

tion”?

The first time I saw the draft of a laid outchapter. It is so different seeing it in print in-stead of on file. I was really excited and sa-tisfied.The recipe you are most attached to?

The Sacher: just last month I created the48th version and it makes me happy to makecolleagues realize that everything is possiblewhen you have the basics and the kno-wledge.The confectionary range that you prefer?

All of them, because each time I make a di-scovery and find new ideas. For example forCarnival I prepared very particular fritters andfor me this was a great satisfaction, whichencourages me, because it this that peoplewant and I have the possibility to alwayscreate a challenge for myself.What would you like a young person to learn

from this book?

That what I was missing at the beginning,that is, serious basics and the “why” the in-gredients, once assembled, behave in a cer-tain way. Why did you decide to become a pastry chef?

Partly it was decided by my destiny and par-tly by my artistic streak, the scholastic pathof my education and my inclination to com-municate.What does it mean to be an artisan today?

To aim at quality and uniqueness, becausethe competition from large industries is verystrong. And to also become businessmen toall intents and purposes in order to survive oureconomic system.

How important is and how much of theoreti-

cal culture is in the workshop?

A lot, we have limited ourselves to only co-pying others recipes. And young people arebeginning to understand this, and are com-mitting themselves to becoming the mastersof their own creations.What is your perfect shop like?

First, it has a shop window that entices thecustomers to enter, then, who is behind thecounter must be educated and motivated tosell a “small dream”.And the perfect workshop?

Logistics and organisation of the work at thehighest levels.Three pieces of advice on how to face this

slump.

It will seem banal, but invest in the quality(with a price war, you can close down), keepyourself up to date and see new opportunitiesevery morning.Your three most obvious qualities.

Passion, warmth, simplicity.Your most obvious three defects.

Touchy, “prima donna”, fussy.Your favourite sweet.

A well cooked millefeuille with very littlecream, so tasty, so much for diets!Your secret dream.

I am not saying, otherwise it brings bad luck!What would you like to do when you grow up?

... There’s still time to grow up!L.C.

The synergy for chocolate

K24 Evo by Bravo is a new continuous tempering ma-chine provided with all the fundamental accesso-

ries, i.e. a belt for partial or total covering witha release system for washing, and a flat vibra-ting table with heated and inclined sides to fa-cilitate chocolate dripping. In addition to theadvanced software that manages 8 automaticprograms, K24 Evo also offers: thermic self-

balancing, an automatic control system tocheck temperature depending on the quantity of

product in the machine; temperature control,new generation probes working with 1/10 of de-

gree accuracy and keeping steady temperature atthe heart of chocolate; sheet resistance heating

system, ensuring a precise chocolate tempera-ture control. The multi-functional Trittico Execu-tive can also work as a cycle tempering machine,

making a complete cycle every 30 minutes in itsupper tank, from which tempered chocolate can be extrac-

ted through a patented chute, without making the freezing cylin-der dirty and avoiding any waste. Therefore the machine – which is provided bytwo tanks that can work indipendently together – is also fit to produce flavouredganache creams for fillings (pistachio, hazelnut, coconut...), spicy chocolate,products with chopped dried fruit... The advantages in chocolate making thatderive from the synergy of Trittico Executive and K24 Evo are in terms of organi-zation of the production site and production growth. For example, while K24 Evois covering with dark chocolate, Trittico Executive can be used for producing ga-nache and, due to its speed and automatism, for managing the entire productioncycle of milk and white chocolate.Bravo presented K24 Evo to the Asian marketin April, during Food&Hotel Asia in Singa-pore, where the chefs of the Trittico Clubteam performed nonstop live demos.Moreover, Bravo wasalso the silversponsor of theAsian PastryCup, a live com-petition that cul-minated in thepre-selection of the Asian teamswhich will compete at the WorldPastry Cup 2013 in Lyon (France)and which was won by the Austra-lian team. In May Bravo moved toChicago at the NRA Show,where the chefs of the FrenchPastry School used Trittico Exe-cutive for the making of gelato andpastry desserts. www.bravo.it

An interview with Gino Fabbri, conscious professional,highly appreciated for his empathy and equilibrium,values, which are important these days in order to beoptimistic. Gino is the owner of a pastry store, havingthe same name, in Bologna and president of the Acca-demia Maestri Pasticceri Italiani

What is the attitude of the consumers towards the pastry store in this economical situation? The sales of our products are subject to fluctuations, however we have an advantage overother sectors, because pastries are seen as a form of gratification and therefore, in these sadtimes, people feel the need to gratify themselves and we fulfill this role. A pastry rather thana praline, as well as a croissant which has just come out of the oven are gratifying and helpto face the day in a better way.

As a pastry chef, head of an artisan ac-tivity, what advice can you give to col-leagues to develop their activity and toassert themselves on the market irre-spective of the present economiccycle?I think it is right and honest to try as much aspossible to offer what the customer expectsfrom us. Any pastry chef is, in turn, a custo-mer in another sector and we should behaveas we would like others to behave towardsus, that is, finding the right quality-priceratio. Many artisans work in a better way compa-red to an industrial level because they can

afford to offer fresh raw materials, withoutpreservatives. We have to hold high the offerof haute patisserie because the better wework, the more we all work. A programme,therefore, of a high standard and which isengaging. These are small things which areimportant for the customers. At this momentin time I would advise my colleagues tomake a right evaluation, and balance thechoices of production. Advice for young chefs?To the younger generations I would say tobe determined in choosing the best, other-wise it will not be only their activity that willbe damaged but all the category.

Do you think it will be necessary to re-touch prices?As I was saying before, our products maybe bought because they represent gratifica-tion, but how much do they cost? We are allselling at a lower cost if we compare it tothe prices of the fifties and sixties; if wemake a comparison we should sell at higherprices. The problem is staying within over-head costs without increasing the prices.Fifty years ago there were not many cakeshops in Bologna, therefore the competitionwas less fierce. Today the industrial qualityof any typology, mainly long life products, ishigh and the price is lower than what an ar-

tisan can charge, even though he makesmarvelous products but with a higher cost,therefore in order to be competitive he mustgive something more.Practical examples?If the artisan, in order to lower costs, redu-ces the quality of the raw materials, the re-sult will be a mediocre product and in anycase with a higher price compared to an in-dustrially produced product. Therefore thelevel of quality must never be lowered loo-king for cheaper raw materials at the ex-pense of excellence. The problem is thetransport costs that have an important im-pact on everything, from the workforce tothe accessories, to the paper... But I mustnot reduce the quality of the product itself. Ifless customers enter the shop, the impor-tant thing is to offer always the best, also

because this trend is cyclic and sooner orlater it will change. Furthermore we knowthat, if we increase prices considerably welose customers and it is very hard to winthem back. How have you gone through this cyclicpattern?In the 70‘s, there was a considerable re-duction in consumption but once this pas-sed everyone was more optimistic. Now thisis not so. It was possible to see a better fu-ture then, one knew that once that periodhad passed people would have startedbuying again, today we look around and wedo not know where to look, the uneasinesscan be felt. And what considerations come tomind?We older pastry chefs must be the testimo-

nial for the new generations of professio-nals, in order to have a handover that takesinto account the quality and traditions. TheItalian pastry chefs must react proposingand perhaps rediscovering in a modern way,pastry making with a local taste. We mustremember that, here in Italy, we have thebest raw materials in the world, such as ha-zelnuts, almonds, citrus fruit and pistachios.The pride in what we are and our ori-gins, therefore?Tradition is not just something old, but couldbe the new Italian strategy of trends towardsa future that can be successful if managedusing our heads, using excellent productswithout having any doubts or hesitation, butliving and acting with determination andbeing proactive, both towards the customerand the market.

Last March Cast Alimenti school in Brescia ho-

sted the 19th edition of the Simposio Tecnico

AMPI, an event which, every year, reunites all

the associates of the Italian Pastry Chef Aca-

demy over three days punctuated by technical

lessons, speeches from experts coming from the

world of industry, studies of topics of common inte-

rest and exams for the new candidates. The aim of

the meeting is to stimulate a constructive comparison between col-

leagues in order to increase and widen the knowledge in techni-

ques, products and ingredients.

The most eagerly-awaited moment is, as always, that of the exams,

which include a theoretical part, during which the Committee as-

sesses the technical knowledge of the candidates on various topics

of pastry making, and a practical test, based on the preparation of

six cakes plus a pièce characterized by the use of the various de-

coration techniques. Out of the 7 candidates who went in for the

exam, the following people passed: Diego Crosara, Gianluca

Fusto, Davide Malizia, Ernst Knam (l’Antica Arte del Dolce in Milan),

Giovanni Cavalleri (Pasticceria Roberto at Erbusco, Bs) and Ric-

cardo Patalani (Pasticceria Patalani in Viareggio).

With Multi Fresh Irinox has brought together multiple functions in one product, allowing the user to manage not only chilling and free-zing processes, but also proofing and thawing. It features controlled thawing cycles, giving the possibility to set time when products

must be ready for retail. The fast thawing cycle restores frozen products to positive temperature through a combinationof temperature and ventilation, it does not damage the texture of food and keeps the organoleptic characteristicsintact.The 4 confectionery thawing cycles are intended for miniature pastries, which have to be put on display or sliced,for baked products and gelato. For example, Multi Fresh can take miniature pastries to -2°C, which is the suitabledisplay temperature, or to -12°C, which is the ideal temperature for flawless slicing.Multi Fresh features special controlled proofing cycles, preserving the deep taste, delicate texture, right crispness,digestibility and above all extended freshness over time of bread and other leavened products. It ensures the idealproofing and holding cycle (for example at night) for leavened products, until the right moment for baking. WithMulti Fresh the professional can choose the exact moment to have the product perfectly leavened and ready forbaking.Multi Fresh has more than 90 dynamic cycles for different specialities (e.g. pies, croissants, pastry dough, mous-ses, creams...). The right temperature, air speed, ventilation, moisture, optimum chilling and freezing times foreach food type have been carefully studied, and a large number of innovative and patented features have beenadded, such as Multisensor, a probe equipped with multiple food temperature sensing points; MultiRack, a trayrack suited to any environment (pastry, catering, etc...) that can be adjusted in terms of length and width; Sanigen,an active ion sanitization system which guarantees total sanitization of the work chamber, food and utensils as itworks through the air, reaching the most inaccessible, hard to clean areas and making dirt "inactive".

“I am serious and motivated, with the desire to raise my profession to the highestlevels of excellence and quality”: these are the words with which the talented youngFrenchman Bastien Blanc-Tailleur loves to use when presenting himself, wordswhich sum up his ability and personality. We interviewed this twenty-year old Fren-chman, now working at the prestigious Café Carette in Paris, who is in love with pa-stry making and, in particular, with sugar art, which he develops with a style that ispersonal, mixed with artistic cross references

When did you realise you wanted to become a pastry chef?Very early on. As a child I liked cooking and, in particular, anything to do with sweets. My grandmo-ther was a very good cook and I loved her desserts and jams. So when I had to decide what to study,little by little I realised that I could only work in confectionery. It was hard because I do not come froma family of pastry chefs and I had to convince my parents in order to follow this path.How did you arrive at the Maison Pillon in Toulouse and what did you do there?My previous boss suggested I work there. I remained in Toulouse for three years, two years for myapprenticeship and one year as a chef de poste. I was in charge of the special orders, the piècemonté, the bases and the production of sugar decorations. However, since I didn’t need to dedi-cate all my time to this, I also dealt with the production of small cakes, together with a collea-gue.Instead now you have moved to the capital. Tell us about the Café Carette and yourduties. What does working in Paris mean to you?The Café Carette is a famous tearoom in the capital. The first one was opened in Place du Tro-cadero, right in front of the Eiffel Tower, and another tearoom has been opened re-cently in the romantic Place des Vosges. I have been working there for a fewmonths and I am continuing with my professional training, learning new or-ganization and work methods. The sweets are very beautiful, delicious,made with attention to detail and it is a great pleasure for me to partici-pate in this adventure. I wanted to move for more than a year, but I putoff moving in order to remain a little longer in Toulouseand to consolidate what I had learned

there. Paris remains the capital of thesweet-toothed and it is almost an inevitablepassage for all those who wish to come intocontact with the big maison. It gives a cer-tain prestige, even if it is not everything...You have taken part in several compe-titions, with gratifying results, such asthe 1st edition of the S.G. Sender Tro-phy in Lille, in 2010, in which you wereawarded first place both for the tastingand for the pièce in sugar. How did youarrive at the decision to put yourself tothe test? These competitions are an excellent meansto overcome ones limits. Moreover, at a cer-tain point, it became important to me tocompare myself with other professionals, in

order to grow. It took an enormous effort toprepare for the competitions, sometimes atthe expense of my personal life, but this wasa necessary sacrifice.Yours is a very elegant style, with anoriental imprint. Where do you get yourinspiration from? I get a lot of inspiration from Oriental art andfrom what I see around me. What follows isthe fruits of my elaboration. I read as muchas possible about different styles, with a pre-sent preference for Art Nouveau. I am al-ways trying to find new forms in order tomove away from the well trodden paths andto assert my own style.Which are the techniques that you prefer?Pulled sugar, even if I am certain that there

are still many aspects to be explored as re-gards the techniques of cast and blownsugar. Who are the professionals that you ad-mire?There are many. I really like what StéphaneLeroux does from an artistic point of viewand I am fascinated by the works in sugarand chocolate that can be admired on occa-sion of the competitions held in Asia, forexample Hofex or the Japan Cake Show. InFrance we are lucky to have numerous ex-cellent professionals who bring prestige tothis profession. I am a fan of the Tarte Va-nille by Pierre Hermé, of the verrine of theParisian confectioner’s Pain de Sucre andof course the cakes of Sadaharu Aoki...

In 2008 Bastien made his debut in theworld of competitions, developing theartistic side of his profession and ac-quiring the skill of working sugar. Hisartistic work distinguishes itself for itselegance and clean lines, with a prefe-rence for floral motifs and stylization,inspired by the orient and Art Nouveau.Rève Bleu is the title of the work thatopens the article.http://bastienpatisserie.over-blog.org

How do you see the future of your pro-fession in general?I am sure that the profession of pastry chefhas a positive future, even if it will be ne-cessary to play the card of luxury in order tostand out and to present products of excel-lent quality. There are still many avenues toexplore and the present spirit of emulationwhich is around the métiers de bouche is theproof.

In Campania, since mid-nineteenth century there have been several cultivarsof pomodorini, but the most famous are the ones growing on the slopes ofVesuvius. The category pomodorino del piennolo includes many biotypes se-lected through decades by local farmers, who have given them colourful de-nominations. It’s an oval-shaped fruit with a pointed apex tip and frequentribbing on the peduncular part, a vermilion red thick skin, a weight not ex-ceeding 25 g, a red pulp of high consistence, a lively, intense, sweet andsour taste. The peculiarity is their antique conserving practise called al pien-nolo, i.e. ripe tomatoes are tied together in bunches forming big clusters,which are hanged at the roofs of rural farm houses.

Parmigiana (a short form of Parmigiana di melanzane) is an Italian dishmade with a shallow-fried sliced filling, layered with cheese and tomatosauce, then baked. Parmigiana made with a filling of eggplant (aubergine) is

the earliest version. In addition to the original recipe, many variations arefound most often in countries where large numbers of Italians immigrated.While parmigiana usually means "from Parma", a town in Northern Italy, thedish is not part of the cuisine of Parma, but is a Southern Italian dish (clai-med by both Campania and Sicily).

Liqueur excellence

The Luxardo family has owned a liqueur distillery for ne-arly 200 years. Named Girolamo Luxardo, the businessis based in Torreglia, near Padua, and is as committed asever to creating excellent liqueurs. Luxardo was originallyfounded in Zara, now the Croatian city of Zadar, underAustrian rule. Girolamo Luxardo, a gentleman and diplo-mat from Genova and his wife Maria Canevari moved there in 1817, and she began experimenting with liqueurs soon after. In 1821, Mr. Luxardofounded a distillery to produce Maraschino, and within eight years the liqueur had attracted the attention and approval of the Emperor of Austria.

The liqueur factory remained in Zara until the 1940s, when the city was considerably damaged in World War II. The only surviving fourth-generation Luxardo, Giorgio, moved to Torreglia: there he, along with younger Ni-colò, made a new start for an old brand, and the distillery has remained there untilthe present day, still owned completely by the family. Piero Luxardo is now the president of the company, and five other members arepart of the enterprise: Filippo, Matteo, Giorgio, Guido and Franco Luxardo. Thedistillery employs about 45 people, as well as about 100 salespeople throughoutItaly. Luxardo continues to create liqueurs, as well as flavoured aromas and pre-served fruit. The company is the worldwide market leader in Maraschino cherryliqueur production, and other popular liqueurs are Amaretto and Sambuca; thearomas are created in alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties and are fit for con-fectionery. They also produce jam and preserved maraschino cherries forcocktails. With a production of 6,000 bottles per hour, the 6,800 m2 factory is very self-sufficient and does most of its work in-house, being proud of the made in Italydesignation of products. The distillery has its own laboratory, quality manage-ment and automation equipment. “Our business’s compact size allows us tobe faster and more flexible, especially in creating new products and bringingthem to market,” says Franco Luxardo. The company even grows many of itsown fruits: the cherries needed for liqueurs and preserved maraschino cherries are produced by 22,000 Luxardo-owned Marascacherry trees. Alongside the classic, bestselling Maraschino cherry liqueur, Luxardo’s second flagship product is cherry Sangue Mor-lacco liqueur. About 2/3 of products are exported and sold through distributors in about 70 countries, especially in the UK, Canada, Japan and theUSA. Luxardo also participates in international trade shows, as opportunities for the company to showcase its wares and interact witha vast array of customers and potential leads. Moreover, in 2011 seven of the company’s liqueurs have been awarded bronze, silver, orgold medals in various international competitions. www.luxardo.it

Two classic shapes for a modern cake

The Tortaflex range by Silikomart is well known thanks to the high quality of itsmade-in-Italy silicone moulds. It has been enlarged including a new design ofthe traditional Savarin mould (SAV), which is now available in 2 diameters: ø180/60 h 50 mm and ø 160/80 h 40 mm. The latter can be used both indivi-dually and as an insert of the Savarin ø 180/60 h 50 mm mould. The twomoulds are sold either separately (single reference number) on a 60x40 cm po-lycarbonate tray containing 6 pieces of the same dimensions, or in a Kit (LadyQueen) composed of 3 plus 3 moulds. Their use allow to obtain flawless des-serts, which even though being traditional, have a touch of novelty. The two moulds were originally conceived by Silikomart for the Pastry Queencompetition of last Sigep, which involved women pastry professionals and waswon by the Italian Sonia Balacchi. www.silikomart.com

The man who has received all the most important awards in the cuisine field doesnot need a presentation: it is Massimo Bottura, chef at the Osteria Francescana inModena that with his affirmation, which gives the title to this piece, closes the inter-view

Three Michelin stars, fourth place in the Worlds 50 Best Restaurant Awards, title of Chef’sChoice, that is, the favourite among the best colleagues in the world; a rating of 19.75/20in the Espresso guide, Grand Prix de l’Art de la Cuisine: these are only some of the most de-sirable awards won by one of the greatest representatives of Italian cuisine in the world. Weare speaking about Massimo Bottura, chef of the restaurant Osteria Francescana in Mo-dena who, in the heart of the old town, has created a modern and welcoming space, wherehe narrates the story of tradition in evolution. Dishes such as Compressione di pasta e fa-gioli (Compression of pasta and beans) and the Bollito non bollito (Boiled/not boiled meat)– contemporary vision of centuries of Italian cuisine influenced by experiences abroad – aresuch examples. There are three tasting menus, all having distinctive characteristics: the Tra-dizionale, which captures the classical side of the land of Modena without losing sight of theavant-garde. The Classic menu brings together those dishes that have traced a path linkedto the evolution of the raw materials, following the concept of Bottura “the territory seen froma distance of 10 km”, and instead consists of dishes such as Nero su nero (Black on black),Omaggio a T. Monk (Tribute to T. Monk); Le 5 stagionature del Parmigiano Reggianoin temperature e consistenze (The 5 maturings of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese in tem-perature and consistency); Ooops! Mi si è rotta la crostatina… (Oooops! The Tart is bro-ken…), and, lastly, the third menu, which is Le Sensazioni (The Sensations), the one in whichthe chef tries to mentally detach himself from his land, putting the technique on stage, in aglobal vision, in order to rediscover memories and sensations, with the clear aim of tran-smitting emotions. The same that we perceive also through the words of this interview whichhas been carried out over several meetings and which also features the pastry chef FrancoAliberti, who has just become a member of the team.

Massimo, let’s talk about you and yourcuisine: how would you define it? A cuisine of the territory, seen from a di-stance of 10 kilomentres. I drew on anidea by Gino DeDominicis, in which the ar-tist, urged by an important collector,agreed to paint this person’s portrait. Aftera couple of hours of “absolutely no-thing”, DeDominicis asked the model to in-spect the canvas and who, on seeing itblank, with only a black dot in the centre,irritated asked for an explanation: “It is yourportrait seen from a distance of 10 kilo-metres”. It is in these words that what I tryto express is enclosed: “my” territory, seenin a modern, up-to-date, contemporarylight.If you had to express yourself as adish, what would you choose?Tortellini.

You described your cuisine as being inevolution: what does this mean?Tradition is the result of successful experi-ments, and because of this traditionsshould be in constant evolution. As far asI am concerned, I try to give the best sup-port to the products of my territory, whichmust express themselves in a system ofself-sufficiency. This is a concept that isvery important to me: to be able to createa “system” on the territory, shortening thesupply chain so as to give an image of ourland that is solid and well-characterized.Tradition, innovation, art, fusion,music: how do all these aspects coe-xist in your dishes?My cuisine is contemporary, therefore, it isnormal that it is influenced by everyday life,without being swallowed up by it, though.At the same time, it is natural that it ex-

presses and gives form to my passions,such as art and music. Raw materials and technique: whichprevails?The idea. The technique and raw materialsare one at the service of the other in orderto achieve the idea.In your cuisine, is it the sweet that hascontaminated the savoury or vice-versa? What difference does it make? The impor-tant thing is to not see any boundaries.The dish must be good and healthy, any-thing else fades into the background.Which are, if any, the common pointsbetween cuisine and pastry making?At the Osteria Francescana there are nodifferences. It all belongs to one world, oneenvironment where ideas are exchangedand developed. What does a dessert represent insidea menu and how is it conceived?Exactly in the same way as the other di-shes, which often come from considera-tions and ideas around which they arecreated such as, for example, the answerto an abstract question we have askedourselves.What distinguishes a dessert?The fact that we consider it the final part ofa journey, the final image, the last memory.In fact our menu “Sensazioni” (Sensations)starts with a granita, the same that I ate atCorrado Assenza from Noto (Sicily), asweet-savoury prospective.Art and music, two constants thathave always accompanied life andwork: in what way have they left an in-

FRANCO ALIBERTI, THE NEW ENTRY AT THE OSTERIA FRANCESCANAHow is your experience in sensorial experimentation going?

It will be a starting point, something that will embrace, in a three dimensional way, all the aspects of gastronomy, from

savoury to bitter, which before I was missing. In the meantime, I will start with the pasta dishes.

Research for naturalness and experimentation. Where is the balance?

The respect for the raw materials, always and above all! Instead, the techniques give us the possibility to rediscover

the product within the dish, conveying a second life, there, right in front of the guest.

What would you like to “give” to this new adventure?

More than “give” it is a question of sharing. This is the right spirit in an environment like La Francescana: the sharing

of philosophy and ideas.

Desserts will always have a typically sweet tone or will research lead to other paths?

As I said before, the paths are long and full of surprises. We have started to work on the breakdown of the boundary

between savoury and sweet. An extreme breakdown, of 360 degrees, with an aim to eliminate any barrier in a conti-

nuous fusion of research and experimentation.

Play, nature, research, memory: which will be your path?

Join the dots… all of them!
