These have been the most intense and energizing days ever! To be back in my chef's coat has been incredible. To be able to work side by side with amazing chefs like Cara Powell and Matthew Bemis has been inspiring. To be able to put all my skills at work for Petroio in such a beautiful place as Nel Centro a privilege.
The dinner went wonderfully with a group of fantastic guests mixed between old Petroio aficionados and new fans. My pear and gorgonzola risotto paired beautifully with the 2008 Chianti Classico Riserva, and the 2005 and 2006 Riserva Magnums where just treats! A little sneaked in Vinsanto to finish off the dinner and the big event was over before I could really understand what incredible event was accruing around me. Just a huge, indelible smile for all the days to come..
Enjoy some of the shots we were able to take of the dishes, the staff and breath the wonderful atmosphere that was created...
