Prepared the leg for the Giro d’Italia: tv - armchair - pantry - tv - armchair, we asked the gastronomic journalist and great enthusiast Alessandro Morichetti to suggest a gourmet menu to the cyclists involved in the enterprise. Tips for the first week. The centenary Giro distorts the rules and makes purists turn up their noses, celebrating […]
1. Last Wednesday during Porta a Porta, Bruno Vespa asked the Italians to offer a job to Karol Racz, the Romanian unjustly accused of the Caffarella rape. 2. At 11:45 pm, the "woman-wasting cook", Filippo La Mantia, sends a text message to the editorial staff of Porta a Porta: "I saw him on TV and thought: like me he is […]
How to change / not to die sings Fiorella Mannoia. It could be the soundtrack of these times that rewrite the mythology of information. The news is that even the Seattle Post stops the presses after 146 years, relying on the Net. Or to stay at wi-fu (wine & food), that Gambero Rosso Holding is filing a complaint for behavior […]
Having established that the Italian epidemic of Facebook makes it clear as best we can, that the core business of NARCISO is not in crisis at all, let's talk about us: ettipareva. With the excuse of thanking those who commented on Dissapore's arrival, let's give some quick numbers. Yesterday, thanks to the contemporary links of the Italian blogger n.2 and n.3, Dissapore obtained […]
1. The PDL congress told on Facebook by Marco Gatti, one of the nicest Italian food journalists. "The menu? Signed by chef Vito Donnaloia it represents the whole Peninsula. Parmesan flakes and guinea fowl galatine; morsels of smoked provola cheese and buffalo rolls. But the congress is in Rome and here are the dishes by the kilometer […]
Who commented this week? - “I am a freelance, if you hire I will send you the CV. I am “young” and passionate…”| Stefano Bonilli in: Dissapore Casting: forward to the next one - "At Briciola a fixed presence, often lonely, is the former footballer Bergomi, one with a clerical air". Camilla Baresani in Where the rich and famous eat: Victoria Beckham […]
-Even if a Porta a Porta had said the opposite, Filippo La Mantia, a cook loved by the great Roman families, does not hire the Romanian Karol Racz unjustly accused of rape in the Caffarella park. We asked: right or wrong? -Cleared by Michelle O. the garden is officially radical-chic. -A food journalist describes the menu of […] on Facebook
Reading Repubblica over the weekend we found interesting material for the first Dissapore Quiz. Test your attention. 1. As a great old man of gastronomic journalism, perhaps because he is in a hurry, perhaps because it is not easy to get opinions on everything, he copied and pasted in a comment on his blog the article that about old lions, […]
The problem is not the lies that the newspapers tell all year, but the effort they impose on us today to isolate them from April fools. As always, we fell in the millions, in our defense we can say that a tot were sensational. Especially, as usual, the jokes of the English newspapers. -Metro (a free-press) offered […]
Blog Cafè is the award for the best Italian gastronomic blogs by Squisito, an event for gourmands organized by the San Patrignano community. Yesterday at Vinitaly, Luigi Cremona, who among other things is one of the jurors, announced the finalist blogs for the next edition (1-4 May). They are: Food &co; We cook together with Andrea; Maidiristorante […]
Who commented this week? - “To satisfy my ego I throw a look at the ranking of Wikio's food blogs” | Dario Bressanini in Do blogs have the prize they deserve? - "While conceding that if one belongs to the League he never says intelligent things, I would say that Zaia's words are not […]
Sit down and breathe before continuing. Present Luca Digesù, the small baker of Altamura, in Puglia, who in 2005 forced the McDonald's restaurant to close due to lack of customers, whose story inspires the film soon in theaters, Focaccia Blues, "cinefocaccia more fun than any cinepanettone", definition by the writer Camillo Langone read this morning on […]
At one time the profession of a cook was gray, almost unmentionable. Today no one can say they hang out with people who don't know who Fulvio Pierangelini is. The side effect is the harassing presence of a chef in 50% of TV programs, but there is no doubt that it was the culture of celebrity that turned things around. Now Padma […]
Nose - yours - is this a true story or a bedtime story? Once upon a time there was a restaurateur from Turin who wanted to be generous. In his restaurant, Il Grappolo, in via Cigliano, Corso Belgio area, he had decided to sell 2 (two) portions of his boiled meat at the symbolic price of € 1 (one). As if to say, a boiled meat […]
Who commented this week? All-Stars Edition - I stand firmly in the “Sticazzi” field - Giulia Blasi in Antonella Clerici. Who is discrimination who is a propitious opportunity. - Guys, you are beyond the sound barrier - Luciano Pignataro in Il Vinitaly di Chanel, escort profession. - The film is a message for Mc Do. It could accompany the use of the productions […]
We would not like to, but we are all parties to the dispute. The news regarding the town of Pessano con Bornago, Milan ("your parents don't pay - 34 schoolchildren removed their meals"), I say right away, makes me quite horrified. Maybe I'm a father. I am ashamed of a system that, in the inadequacy of the means that […]
It seems to us that the Blog Cafè 2009 was not a serious matter, we had foreseen it. Now, given the final outcome, we are sure: the blogosphere deserves better. These are the winners: in the blogdeiblog category, Maidireristorante won, while chef Marcello Valentino and Andrea Petrini were the most voted respectively in the food and wine categories. The […]
It is not enough to have trimmed the objections of the journalists who criticized the lack of rigor in verifying the sources. Today blogs, indeed: foodblogs, want to have their own Code of Ethics. It is still incomplete and contains boring prescriptions. It goes a little better with the recommendations for restaurant listings: 2 visits are recommended before the verdict, welcome […]
Let's start with the news: Striscia la Notizia did not make a food critic ridiculous (a chef yes, but we'll talk about it later). It happened last night with Enzo Vizzari, director of the Espresso guides, who, net of cuts and giggles, gave sensible answers to the correspondent Max Laudadio. These include: 1) The Don Alfonso restaurant in Sant’Agata […]
In 1982 I was more or less the age of Stella, the protagonist of the poignant short made by Gabriele Salvatores for Banca Intesa, and like her, I dreamed of the toys advertised on TV. There were Crystal Ball and Cicciobello. And there was the Dolce Forno: a little girl explained from the screen that everyone could make haute patisserie delicacies. Me after a couple […]
-If the Italian Gastrocracy took up the position of the Italian Gastrocracy to defend Striscia la Notizia from the attacks of Striscia la Notizia, Massimo Bottura, the new No. - You don't know who to vote for? Read The Gastronomic Mysteries of Villa Certosa and decide if the Pres Del Cons deserves the vote. […]
The interview proceeds without jolts. Summarizing thirty years of battles in defense of good food - the history of Slow Food - the Sole24Ore lists Terra Madre, the Salone del Gusto, the Ark of products at risk to be enhanced with the Presidia, the University of Gastronomic Sciences. Then the news: the Officine del Gusto. University courses to rediscover forgotten trades, cheesemakers, delicatessens, bakers, […]
In the last few days here on Dissapore we have noticed at least a couple of tragically plastered comments; the first, signed by the Press Office, follows the resignation of Marco Bolasco from Gambero Rosso, starting with a phenomenal oxymoron: “renewal in tradition and continuity”. First of all: but do we want to finish it, with 'am I blessed anonymity on blogs? Eventually they have […]
Run home in a hurry, there is a Biscione waiting for you. Channel 5. The blackout, the first ad personam decree (Craxi). The direct. More than anything else Colpo Grosso and to close the circle, The mysteries of the night by Giorgio Madail (with Brambilla). All this is Magic Italy. -We too. Magic Italy too. […]
So, we turned 3 months old. I seem to see the stupid gaze that runs through the cabled rooms (cit.) Of the Dissapore editors: like three months? In the sense that it seems to us more, much more. The conversations that pass through here amaze us every day in terms of number and quality, you are already different to follow us, over two thousand […]
We are not men, we are glands. Intentionally or out of pure animal instinct, this is what the beer industry has told us in decades of advertising. Surely the one that showed the most retrograde notion of respect towards women, trivialized in their femininity without saving energy. And almost always ridiculously (see: Miller and Heineken). Request […]
I confess: I have been indulging in perverse practices for a long time, yes, I am a blog commentator. Not even of those who know how to stay in their place, I started by giving them A and taking them FROM a well-known wine expert with bizarre ideas about Sicily. I am from Puglia, he is an expert in wine, he could only end up in tarallucci and… (plus a few inquiries). […]
The world was conquered by the death of a young girl, Neda, who was shot dead in Tehran on Sunday and filmed in a shocking video that went around the world. Now the details are starting to emerge. Her name was Neda Agha-Soltan. The Iranian government has denied authorization for the […]
After hypothesizing the intervention of sommeliers to cope with the escalation of "extreme" mineral waters, it is now the turn of one of the most popular carbonated drinks: Chinotto, tasted in covered tasting exclusively for the readers of Dissapore. (azz!) Lurisia | Offered in a transparent glass bottle with a vaguely snobbish design, it has an austere-like label and 50s graphics, a […]
Sent by Dissapore to Tuttofood, the international food exhibition at FieraMilano from 10 to 13 June, Mariachiara Montera from the blog The chef is on the table has seen things … At Tuttofood you can see the food that all gourmets would like to avoid: the food of professional catering and the enormous distribution, the food that in nature […]
Since March, when Michelle O. ordered sowing in the White House garden, the world has been in the throes of contagious orthomania. Thanks to the crisis, the wear and tear of modern life, the passion for bio, the do-it-yourself growers movement has spread, do you want to sink your hands, water, grow and harvest your own food? TO […]
There was a time when the greats of traditional communication seemed to understand nothing of the Internet. It was enough to slip more than three shares into a "mixed media" project and insert the trend of TG Cultura e Società in it (the community the day before yesterday, the blog yesterday, today Facebook, tomorrow who knows), and they would gush like old men [ …]
Look at the bar next to it. "When you chew it, the sugar melts, the fat melts, the caramel envelops the peanuts in a delirium of aromas that bring the palate to an almost ecstatic experience". Come on, you know very well that these things cannot have been written by us. They are from David Kessler, former director of Food […]
The regional law that, in Lombardy, "gives municipalities the right to prohibit certain businesses that are incompatible with the appearance and tradition of the city" (read: kebabs, Chinese and fast food), pleases the League, just as well. Giosuè Frosio, promoter of the bill, proudly announces that it preserves the identity of the historic centers. Here, my problem is that […]
Don't stop 'til you get enough was the opening song of the Long Playing with which Michael Jackson broke through in '79: "Off the Wall". Unfortunately he will be remembered for much more: the great circus of fireworks provoked by his life, led to the extremes of the grotesque by a psyche riddled with scars. I understand that for […]
1 - Vissani is back with the restaurant by the hour. While the "bull" is "bull" even after hours. 2- Someone, however, was also born. The blue bow in the Dissapore house is for Intravino. 3 - But the most depressing story was that of Neda, the face of the Iranian revolution. He wanted to be a tour guide. […]
The New York Times writes that yesterday, Oscar Natale Farinetti, whose core business is to be a very millionaire with the Eataly taste supermarket (+ Lurisia water and drinks + Fontanafredda wine + Le Baladin beer + La Granda meat + Antica Ardenga salami + pasta Pasta maker from Gragnano + robiola from Roccaverano Agrilanga + products […]
Buying Gambero Rosso you will find the review of the Roman restaurant Il Cuoco Nero, which, despite the contribution of a famous chef such as Maurizio Santin (formerly the City of Taste and Gambero Rosso Channel), closed on Monday. When you say bad luck. Having this clear memory of Camilla Baresani, writer and gastronomic critic of Sole24Ore, who, having moved to […]
I know that few are of interest but finding something about Identità London in the English press was not an easy task. I mean something that goes beyond the predictable gossip: "Heaven that divas Italian cooks … The most starred is Iaccarino, complete with a snatching girlfriend". Who wanted to get an idea on 29 and 30 June, days […]
