This year the Advent calendar is not just about eating! The project Italy Keeps On Cooking, in collaboration with Eataly, launches a series of cooking courses in streaming to support restaurateurs and give everyone the opportunity, even from a distance, to share their passion for cooking.

From the beginning of December until Christmas Eve, 24 chefs between starred and emerging will hold cooking classes in streaming, individual or group, which will involve the participants thanks to a Collectible Christmas Box illustrated by Serena Pretti and made with ecological material: inside there will be the kitchen apron, the complete recipe and some ingredients, selected by Eataly, to enhance the food and wine excellence of our territory.

Italia Keeps On Cooking: the protagonists

The chefs who will hold the cooking courses in streaming will be the following: Franco Aliberti, Marco Ambrosino, Daniel Canzian, the couple formed by Chiara Pavan and Francesco Brutto, Matteo Dolcemascolo, Federico Trobbiani, Luca Natalini, Mirko Ronzoni, Wicky Priyan, Eugenio Boer , Andrea Zazzara, Gianluca Fusto, Ugo Alciati, Giancarlo Perbellini, Davide Caranchini, Andrea Berton, the brothers Christian and Manuel Costardi, Lorenzo Cogo, Niccolò Rizzi, Eugenio Roncoroni, Alberto Gipponi, Cristina Bowerman, Luigi Taglienti and Roberto Di Pinto.

In addition, on 13 and 16 December, there will be two events dedicated to Christmas cocktail. Together with Guglielmo Miriello, bar manager of Ceresio 7 in Milan, you will be able to learn how to create three great classics of mixology: French 75, Vintage Negroni and Old Fashioned.

Italy Keeps On Cooking

Italia Keeps On Cooking is the movement born last March on the occasion of the agency's first lockdown Alessia Rizzetto PR & Communication. A project created to morally support the protagonists of the restaurant world and concretely the Luigi Sacco hospital in Milan. A social fundraising campaign that started in Milan and then went viral thanks to the more than 1600 people who wore the apron that invited them to “never stop cooking”. An appeal to be understood in the broadest sense of the term: Italy must remain united to continue churning out ideas, projects and recipes.

"Remaining faithful to the claim 'Italia Keeps On Cooking', which in recent months has become our mantra, we have reacted to the persistence of current restrictions by churning out an 'out of the ordinary' project, which could demonstrate to restaurateurs our closeness to them. . The enthusiasm with which our idea was received makes us understand how Italian chefs want to get involved, to express their creativity and to share their dishes – albeit virtually – with all those who can't wait to to be able to go back to the restaurant Alessia Rizzetto, founder of the homonymous communication and public relations agency.

"We are happy to be able to support this project, which we had already followed as spectators since its inception, while enhancing the excellence of Italian products. Never before have we wanted to support the world of catering and bring the carefree care that quality food and a cooking lesson can offer to the homes of the 'Eatalians' ", he adds Clotilde Balassone, Head of Marketing of Eataly.
