Presentation of the book
Grandpa’s Recipes and Memories, a Mediterranean lifestyle
(Graus Edizioni, 2024)
by Francesca Di Matteo
Like all grandparents, Grandpa Angelo always had a lot to tell and teach. Born in Italy, he emigrated to America to build his own future. His was not a simple journey but he faced it with determination, a quality that has always distinguished him. This, therefore, is not a simple book of memories, but a true legacy of Grandfather Angelo. The recipes, to be considered hybrid due to the great Italian American cultural influence, represent the great culinary tradition that, with great passion, the Iovine family continues to carry forward. It’s not just ingredients and preparations, it’s a real lifestyle. Angelo Iovine’s Mediterranean lifestyle.
The “Ingredients/Ingredients. The secrets of Italian cuisine” is organized in collaboration with Professor Annamaria Colao, holder of the UNESCO-Federico II chair of Naples (PO of Endocrinology, Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery). The series focuses on individual ingredients in order to enhance the grammar of Italian cuisine, and the source of its excellence, thanks to the extraordinary biodiversity, and “sustainable” processes.
The IX Week of Italian Cuisine in the World takes place November 16-22, 2024 and the theme of this edition is “Mediterranean Diet and Roots Cuisine: Health and Tradition”. This year’s events aim to present Italian cuisine with particular reference to its traditional roots and the recognized role of the Mediterranean Diet for the preservation of health, within the framework of a healthy, balanced and sustainable lifestyle. Alongside aspects linked to health and sustainability, emphasis will be given to the theme of traditions, in synergy with the Roots Tourism program, which aims to highlight the role that our communities abroad have given to the dissemination of agro-food heritage Italian in the world.
