Stories about cities - by Bruno Gambarotta

www.lastampa.it, 16 November 2007, “Stories about cities – by Bruno Gambarotta”.

The Cesarine contribute to the magazine Alice

 Starting from the issue of June 2009, the cuisine magazine Alice devotes a page to Home Food’s project and the Cesarine (and the Cesarini …) who are happy to share their recipes and their stories, accompanied by high-definition photographs of the dishes prepared.

Do not loose the chance to meet the Cesarine: in the first issue the page talks about Flavia and Antonio in Catania…

The Association for the Safeguard and Exploitation of the Traditional Gastronomic-Culinary Wealth of Italy, with its Home Food project sponsored by the Ministry of Agricultural Politics and various Regions of Italy, and in co-operation with the University of Bologna, exploits and spreads the traditional food culture strictly linked to the culture of the typical products and territories.

In this spirit it is possible to become guests of the Italian families and taste foods cooked by the Ladies of the house, real repositories of the old culinary ways and methods.

The Guests (see To become a User Partner), as are the Ladies of the house called Cesarine (see The Cesarine), are members of the Association.

The Cesarine, whose number constantly increases, are available from North to South of Italy (see The Italy of Home Food).  

Since its foundation in April 2004 more than one thousand gastronomic Events have been organized.

The Association for the Safeguard and the Exploitation of the Traditional Gastronomic-Culinary Wealth of Italy has also founded the Home Food Editions, whose mission can be resumed in “good food for good thoughts”. Typical traditional foods become symbol and metaphor of a good way of being together, and this is the main objective for which Home Food was born, with the desire to encourage and promote the development of the “good” at different sense levels.
