We open our number with a theme that
apparently may seem border, but can
make us reflect on the broader question
of the relationship between modernity
and tradition, of which the kitchen and
the restaurant are very sensitive litmus
paper.
Indeed brunch (there is also who call
t colapranzo, perhaps with a summary
a bit ‘risky) is the paradigm of a
consumption mode open, international,
which has taken root especially in the
northern part of the country, especially
in cities, and less or to anything else.
Yet, as is explained in the article, it is a
good way to create traffic in the room
and to effectively utilize the products
that’s a formula that moreover offers a
good return. But the established habits
die-hard.
Another example of a modern
interpretation of the tradition is that of
a flagship product, the Gorgonzola. The
output from the constraints of tradition
you have, this time, to the great chef.
So how are they to make the best one
of the pillars of Italian cuisine, rice,
too often relegated to the rear for a
supposed more difficult to use than
the pasta. Instead, it is the flexibility
that opens the way to the multiple uses
of the rice in the kitchen. Not least
its being a product proof allergens,
a theme strongly rose to prominence
with the entry into force of the EU
Regulation 1169 on food labeling that
involves obligations for restaurateurs.
Read on, we wanted to dedicate a study
on work clothes in the kitchen, next to
which today must ensure that technical
performance, have undoubtedly also
a fashion element that enhances the
figure of the chef and kitchen staff.
The aesthetic element of the room
should not be underestimated, even
in times of crisis. This is why we
wanted to offer a few examples - from
abroad - remodeling of the room with
low-cost interventions but which give a
strong character and personality to the
restaurant or bar.
At last, we have a selection of wines
from Piedmont, the historical avant-
garde of Italian wine: And to taste them
the best proposals of chalices “divine”.

One more year of crisis for Italy
closes. Yet it was started with some
prospects for recovery (or so they
said all economic analysts). Instead
the recession continued to hit
households and businesses and riding
summer shadows of deflation (the
conjunction of falling prices and falling
consumption) have begun to grow on
the Italian economy. Fortunately this
ghost has moved away. But it does a
little impression, talking entrepreneur
entrepreneurs, talk of luck when you
are confronted daily with the difficult,
if not dramatic situation which we all
live and observe.
So even this one that is about to be
over can be defined a transition year,
between crisis and recovery, to fuel
hope for out of the tunnel which we all
aspire. That’s because if don’t reverse
the course and we cannot put the
boat above the waterline, we expect
just have to expect another difficult
year. That’s why we must not let our
guard down, making sure to capture
the smallest signals that can cause
difficulties for our companies and our
customers with us.
Taking care of “things in our house”,
the Cooperative Italian catering,
apparently would not have reason for
concern, because this year we are still
grew a little (although it will be the
final sprint Christmas-New Year to
definitively establish this assertion). But
it is only apparent tranquility. Because
behind this growth the real turbulence
are hiding, which we hope this does
not disprove my cautious optimism.
Let me explain: if companies associated
with our cooperative grew, that is for
