Continue our journey through the restaurants – hundreds only in Italy – that have enthusiastically joined the International campaign Restaurants against Hunger, the important initiative for which choosing a 'Supportive dish' in the menu, 2 euros go to support of Action against Hunger projects for undernourished children.

Today we talked with Chef Daniel Canzian, patron of the homonymous Milanese restaurant, which for Restaurants against the Fame offers the Lemon risotto, roast sauce and liquorice. This dish is born from the use of a "element of waste", the sauce of roast, a typical element of the Sunday kitchen, combined with licorice, an ingredient and original remedy with ancient roots. Result: a good, nutritious and economical food. Now also ethics.

"We wanted to give more support possible to Action against hunger, so unlike last years we decided to make available the most significant dish in the menu: lemon risotto, roast and liquorice sauce – tells us Chef Daniel – It's about ingredients poor, national-popular, that all share: I'm talking about the sauce of roast and lemon, while licorice brings that touch of genius, of originality. It is Sicilian licorice: the dish also contains the characteristics of our nation: a Northern risotto with elements from the South". Signiture dish constant in Daniel's menus since 2013, also contains the characteristics of the his kitchen, where the founding parts are the elements of "Arte Povera" in a vision of sustainability General: "We are not necessarily obliged to make dishes with some kind of raw materials" – suggests Daniel, who explains why he is so keen to support the Restaurants against Fame event: "In a global vision, I believe that today catering should be occupy more than nutrition: there can not be only the scenic part, fashion but the nutrition concept behind it must be strong, sensitive, marked. We certainly can not pretend nothing if there are whole populations that can not feed themselves. It is a duty to support certain realities and catering is and must be the protagonist ".
