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.
