Fabio Pisani and Alessandro Negrini, chefs at Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia in Via Montecuccoli in Milan, will be two of the 14 protagonists of Cuochi DuepuntoZero (literally Chefs 2.0), the cooking show event organised by Identità Golose within Host, from this Friday to Tuesday in Rho Fiera Milano (photo by A. Castiglioni)

A few more days and the first collaboration between Identità Golose and Host - the International Fair of Professional Hospitality to be held at Rho Fiera Milano from October 18-22nd – will start. The programme of cooking shows that will liven up Identità Golose’s space inside Padiglione 2 is rich: as many as 14 chefs will alternate themselves at the induction stoves, demonstrating the importance of using different technologies in the kitchen. The main theme is Cuochi DuepuntoZero, that is to say innovation in the kitchen thanks to all those – more or less complex – machines that every day allow chefs to obtain the best out of the different cooking techniques and the different preparations they use. All this with one characteristic in common: there will be no use of fire. This is so as to highlight all that has happened since fire was invented, that is to say since the first and biggest invention for mankind.

The protagonists will not be the dishes themselves but all that will be used throughout the different phases, from induction stoves to ovens, from vacuum to roner ovens for low temperature cooking, to centrifuges and chillers. The area will be fully equipped with high-tech and functional instruments, also thanks to the collaboration of Identità Golose with Inoxpiù which will install the Arca in the centre of Identità Golose’s space, on top of the Qubica induction stoves available during the cooking shows.

While Fabrizio Ferrari, Daniel Facen, Christian Milone and Sara Preceruti well demonstrate their use of the extraction, drying, ultrasound and vacuum techniques (as explained here), Fabio Pisani and Alessandro Negrini will present two dishes, respectively Italian duck with sugar-cane and spice smoke with prickly pear granita and salad and Homage to “my” Nadie, in which techniques will be intertwined with history, products and their characteristics. Roy Caceres will present his Fake Appearance, where the fruit will not be a real fruit but a play of shapes and similes, Christian and Manuel Costardi will use rice as a canvas on which they will work and present Baccalà in Tropea, finding their inspiration in the work of two great artists, and Andrea Mainardi will present his Veal with a grissino, onion jam and sour cream.
