Italian Cuisine at Identità Golose: a success again this year – Italian cuisine reinvented by Gordon Ramsay


Many have stopped by to browse the pages of our newspaper and everyone has shared a memory or feeling related to The Italian kitchen: there are those who told us about copies and copies neatly arranged and bound in their grandmother’s living room, those who told us about when during their years of hotel school they only read our magazine, those who, still today, never miss a trip and enjoy the ritual of going to the newsstand every month to buy it, who finally remembers it, authoritatively, on a bookcase next to the Treccani encyclopedia.

Carlo Cracco leafs through the pages of a 1942 issue with Angela Odone.

We wanted to play a game with everyone, look for the cover of their month and year of birth, to find out what they published The Italian kitchenwhen each of them was born.

Here are some of them holding “their” cover in their hands, in a roundup full of smiles, affection and sometimes emotion.

The Chinese New Year is coming: the dishes to celebrate it – Italian Cuisine

The Chinese New Year is coming: the dishes to celebrate it


It falls each year at a different time on our calendar, but always between January 21 and February 20. In this 2022 the celebrations for the Chinese New Year they start from February 1st and will last for the following 16 days, ending with the Lantern Festival. Two weeks full of celebrations, rites and events that welcome theyear of the Tiger, the sign of the Chinese zodiac that, in the next 12 months, will foster shrewdness and courage by replacing the Buffalo, a symbol of resilience, which accompanied us in 2021.

Great party on the table and in the street
Like all popular celebrations, the Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival, has its highlight in banquets to share with family and close friends in the name ofabundance: literal, with a number of superfine courses, but also metaphorical, with the use of ingredients that symbolize the prosperity. As for the western anniversary, the most magical evening is that of Vigil, with a rich man dinner among the domestic walls, lanterns to decorate streets and clubs and pyrotechnic games to illuminate the skies. To dominate mise en place and color arrangements Red, universal good luck charm.

Noodles, rice and dim sum
Unmissable on Chinese tables, they are no exception in festive ones: we are talking about noodles And dim sum. The former can be made of wheat, rice or potato starch, translucent like those of soy. The toppings are always rich with meat, mushrooms, dried fish, spring onions and spicy touches of chilli. THE dim sum are the typical ravioli, or jaozi, bundles, rolls and bao (soft sandwiches) with a thousand shapes and the most varied fillings. Also dishes based on enrich the table rice: sauteed with meat and vegetables or in the form of gnocchi (niangao), both salty and sweet, obtained from the "glutinous" one.

Sea and land specialties
Among the dishes that cannot be missed, the fish (whose word in Chinese sounds just like "abundance") and the finest fish specialties. Whether one of the most typical courses remains the controversial one shark fin soup (increasingly criticized because it puts sharks at risk of extinction), there is no lack of more sustainable alternatives such asabalone, particular monovalve mollusk, the oysters, i shrimp, lobsters and lobsters, sea ​​bass, groupers and freshwater varieties such as perch, steamed and finished with elaborate sauces. A curious specialty is the "Squirrel fish", one carp carved and fried, served still sizzling, which resembles the shape of the animal and produces a "creak" similar to a squeak. They come from the farmyard duck And chicken, who keep company with pig, a symbol of prosperity around the world. The meats can be used in soups, in the fillings of ravioli or, as mentioned, in the condiments of vermicelli, spaghetti or lamian, the special hand-rolled noodles. But also be marinated, glazed, lacquered, roasted, plated: many preparations for sumptuous dishes of earth that are mixed on the table to be shared among the diners, in perfect "sharing" style.

How to toast?
According to tradition, even during the holidays you dine at you or, at most, sipping distillates of rice or other cereals. As the Fenjiu, made with sorghum, barley and peas, aged in terracotta jars, with which to toast at the restaurant Dao di Roma which, in its Christmas Eve menu, offers among others i Baozi Cha Sha Bao, small bundles of soft dough. However, in recent years, even in China, an increasing interest in wine has been developing and the most refined restaurants are starting, even here, to offer highly respectable bottles. Thus, in Milan Bon Wei combines a selection of Amaroni from the Historical Families, the Association that brings together the most important and ancient wineries of Valpolicella: an unexpected but successful marriage with dishes such as crispy yellow grouper with black garlic, duck Yan Shui boiled "water and salt", the rib of beef Guo Qiao with black pepper and taro, a battered and fried tuber, served with a pork and chili sauce. Brianza MU Fish, Nova Milanese's address for Asian fusion cuisine, accompanies the dim sum of its celebratory menu with the effervescence of Lambrusco Doc Spumante. Two proposals very much in line with what is happening in the East, where reds are much more appreciated than whites. Although we (and many sommeliers) would like to recommend a great Classic Method, from Franciacorta to Trentodoc. For a cheers … to the health of the Tiger!

The holiday period is one of the most stressful of the year, albeit in a benevolent sense: the search for gifts, relatives to invite and welcome, the tree and the table to be set to think about, the menu … oh mom, there's also the menu! We are not all superheroes in the kitchen and in these turbulent days we would like to relax, perhaps with a few less thoughts… and this is where restaurants and chefs come to our rescue. In the form of luxury delivery or even in person!
The very good – and very organized – Daniel Canzian, in Milan, offers two Tasting menus of the Holidays at home, a dozen or more delights signed by the good chef designed for dinner on the 24th (or lunch on the 25th) and for the evening of December 31st. They are available for collection at the restaurant (DanielCanzian, via San Marco corner via Castelfidardo in Milan, Tel. +02 63793837), or they can be delivered to your home by the restaurant staff, ready to heat. Daniel will not abandon you: the chef's instructions for completing the dishes will arrive directly via audio on WhatsApp from whoever makes the delivery. There is no shortage of wine pairing suggestions, which can be ordered at the same time. Reservations for Christmas must be received by December 22nd, those for New Year's Eve dinner by December 29th. Menus can be purchased on Emporio DanielCanzian, where you will find all the info.

Bubbles and panettone, if they were not included in your delivery, cannot be missing. At this point, whatever your choice was, you just have to prepare the house by arranging here and there backsplashes of oranges and apples which, with some cinnamon biscuit strategically positioned together with small bowls of dried fruit, they will perfume the party air. And on New Year's Eve don't forget a few sprigs of mistletoe. Your chef's table will be a hit.
