“Attenta, che se lo guardi, ti metti a piangere”, mi avevano avvertito tutti. Non avrei neanche avuto bisogno di vedere il discusso documentario Seaspiracy, perché i temi che tratta li conosco da tempo. Anni fa, in un ristorante, riuscii a far arrabbiare in un solo colpo lo chef, il cameriere e l...

Al Black Swan di Oldstead, nel Regno Unito, i fratelli Banks abbinano una grande cucina “di casa” a cocktail fantasiosi con erbe, bacche e fiori.
«Non abbiamo mai in mente un cocktail particolare, sono gli ingredienti che ci guidano. Quello che troviamo nei campi, ecco, quello finiamo per usare». Seamus Hooley è al Black Swan di Oldstead dal 2017 e di ingredienti qui ne ha in abbondanza. Gli basta uscire sul retro del ristorante, oltrepassare le camere a disposizione di chi trascorre un weeke...

The young chef from Foggia teams up with the celebrity chef from Locanda Locatelli. His career took off when he was noticed by Gordon Ramsay…

shakky!” shouts our tiny toddler, pointing excitedly towards the shallow reef below the deck. In the crystal waters, juvenile blacktip reef sharks calmly zig-zag between rocks and corals, scouting for snacks.

Se cercate una sfogliatella, andate altrove. Da Mon Sciù infatti, della classica pasticceria partenopea c’è ben poco nonostante in cucina ci sia una napoletana verace. Chiara Cianciaruso in città ci è nata e cresciuta ma, una volta arrivata ai vent’anni, fu presa dalla voglia di esplorare il mondo. Si imbarcò su lussuosi yatch e girò i mari e gli oceani, lavorando come chef di bordo. E tra una stagione e l’altra, ha vissuto a Parigi, a Bruges, a Londra, imparando l’arte della pasticceria, div...
