The 14th edition of the Italian Cuisine World Summit will kick off in Dubai on the 7th of November 2023. The Summit is the longest-running event promoting Italian cuisine, restaurants and made in Italy food and wine in the world.
“The aim of the Summit, which also celebrate 10 years in Dubai, is to promote 12 of best Italian Restaurants in Dubai and their Chefs, who will host 12 Michelin starred Master Guest Chefs from Italy”, says Rosario Scarpato, the founder and director of the event.
The 2023 edition of the Summit focuses on Italian regional cuisine: “The true soul of Italian cuisine” is the international Manifesto – Appeal being launched for the event, whose first signatories are the chefs of the Summit. Participating restaurants will have special regional dishes during the period of the Summit. The entire Gala Dinner (Palazzo Versace 7 November 2023), prepared by all participating chefs, will contain only dishes of the Italian regional cuisine.
The Summit is also part of the 7th Italian Cuisine in the World week, promoted by the Italian Government, which this year is dedicated to wellbeing. The theme of the Week is “At the table with Italian Cuisine: health with taste” will be also celebrated by the Summit at the Gala Dinner, where the chefs will use only purified Italian seawater (by Masserie di Mare) to season their dishes. Seawater is a powerful natural ally of human wellbeing. Cooking with seawater, by such a large number of Michelin starred chefs, is definitely a world first.
Food, future and wellbeing are strictly connected. The Italians always knew it. The Gala Dinner will be a tribute to the first cookbook ever printed in the world, Italian recipes, which not by chance was titled “Of indulgence and good health” (De honesta voluptate and valetitude by Platina, 1474)
The most updated and contemporary version of Platina’s legacy, however, will be “LA GRANDE CUCINA DEL BENESSERE” (The great Italian cuisine of wellbeing), two special dinners (9-10 November 2023) promoted by the Summit at Armani / Ristorante, signed by Heinz Beck, chef of La Pergola – Rome (Italy), 3 Michelin stars, https://romecavalieri.com/la-pergola/ and director of the Palazzo Fiuggi, cookery school. https://www.palazzofiuggi.com/mind-body-and-soul-retreat/food-as-medicine-detox-retreat and Giovanni Papi, chef of Armani/Ristorante, 1 Michelin star.
