Program features 25 chefs from eight countries—Italy, Spain (Catalonia), France, Belgium, Denmark, Iceland, the United States and Argentina—including chefs from seven restaurants with one Michelin star and two with two Michelin stars plus six osterias with the Slow Food Snail award
The new calendar of guest chefs for the Academic Tables was presented at 12 noon on Thursday February 8 in the Aula Magna of University of Gastronomic Sciences.
This is now the sixth year of the Academic Tables project. Each year around 25 Italian and international chefs are invited to join the in-house team in order to prepare their emblematic dishes, share their experiences and meet with the university’s students.
As in the past, this year’s program includes a number of chefs from Italy and beyond with Michelin stars, as well as representatives of osterias awarded with the Snail in the Slow Food Osteria Guide.
There will be eight countries represented in the kitchen in 2018: Italy, Spain (Catalonia), France, Belgium, Denmark, Iceland, the United States and Argentina. There are a total of nine Michelin-starred chefs, six Italians and one French chef with one star and two Italians with two stars each. There will also be six chefs from osterias awarded with the Slow Food Snail, representing the best of Italian regional traditions.
The program was presented by Eugenio Signoroni, the editor of the Osteria Guide, along with a guest chef, Viviana Varese of the Michelin-starred Alice Ristorante in Milan. Also speaking were Nicola Perullo, associate professor of Esthetics at the University of Gastronomic Sciences, and Carlo Petrini, the university’s president.
