Culinaria – Taste culinary Identity – IX Edition "A flower in the kitchen"

Culinaria – Taste culinary identity is an event dedicated to food open to the general public, a meeting place of chefs, producers, restaurant owners and operators.

In the heart of Garbatella, in the covered local market you can attend cooking shows of great chefs, buy culinary delights directly from the producer and try the best street food.

Culinaria now into its ninth edition although in reality the event in its current format is only in its fourth year.

In its first five editions Culinaria was a convention aimed at professionals. Only from the sixth edition, thanks to the new role of Francesco Pesce as organizer, the event has grown and with new momentum has become the first major event of haute cuisine at the scene of the Roman capital.

This ninth edition of "A flower in the kitchen" is dedicated to the role of women in the culinary art. After exploring the paths of food through markets, experimenting in the kitchen and the rework of street food we go back to the origins of our research. The role of women in the history of culinary culture in recent years has often been forgotten: since haute cuisine has taken the current extraordinary size of social and cultural phenomenon, the figure of women seems to have disappeared. The vast majority of the experts, chefs, communicators and experts who appear in the media are men. Since food is once again in fashion, there was a kind of collective removal on the role of women and the choice of theme of this edition wants to be the first maneuver to reverse course. A route that also passes through the kitchen of the house, but especially winds also through a female sensibility to which we want to pay tribute starting from flowers and their use in the kitchen.

Flowers have always been a key element in many traditional recipes. The easy availability and versatility of use led to an extensive use of flowers in many dishes. But their use in the kitchen dates back thousands of years ago and is common to all cultures and civilizations from China and India up to the Romas. The flower reminds us of an idea of ornament, and often forget the constant use we make every day in the kitchen, from cauliflower to squash blossom, from borage to saffron, up to the caper.

Among the objectives of Culinaria, hand in hand with enhancing the role of women in culinary history, there is the public awareness on the issue of violence against women. Awareness of femicide and violence that many women suffer every day has made great steps forward compared to just a few years ago, but we have to leverage new generations for real change. For this reason, the ninth edition of Culinaria will bring to middle schools and high schools this year’s experience, with a series of interventions aimed at communicating the issue of violence against women and gender education.

Among the guests of Culinary many women chefs of the best national and international restaurants. To represent exhaustively the female haute cuisine open the event to women’s room and the young people who are taking the first steps in this world, tough and competitive.
