CENON OF SAN SILVESTRO AT THE PALAZZO LEONE IN PALERMO

If you are looking for a New Year’s Eve dinner in Palermo you have come to the right place! At Palazzo Leone, an enchanting location on Via Lincoln 48, you can celebrate your New Year’s Eve with an extensive fish menu.

This will be a reserved and exclusive evening with a number of participants limited to 80 people and a reserved area with an entertainment service for children. No entry will be allowed after midnight.

The building stands on the land donated by Count Rinaldo De Mohac to the Church, as evidenced by a document dated 1194. The construction of the building dates back to the early 1800s but the central part has a much older date as it incorporates what was probably a sighting tower already existing at the time of the donation made by the count.

The ancient building, abandoned and decadent for years, has recently been recovered by the descendants of the De Mohac family. Careful and meticulous restoration work has allowed us to bring the structure back to its former glory and at the same time to adapt it from a technological point of view, making it an ideal location for any type of event.

On the ground floor of the building the halls, of about 300 square meters, characterized by particular stone arches and vaulted roofs and elegantly furnished, lend themselves to the organization of any occasion. For info on the menu and prices see dedicated article New Year at Palazzo Leone.

CENON TO ASTRONAL TAKE IN NAPLES

Let us now dedicate ourselves to those who, for the last festival of the year, want to give themselves a mouth-watering dinner in a city where the food and wine tradition is very strong. Particularly recommended is the Tenuta Astroni, a beautiful property surrounded by greenery, where you can enjoy the best Neapolitan delicacies washed down by the DOC wines of the area, with music, entertainment and songs throughout the evening. During the dinner will be organized several fun games with numerous prizes, waiting for the arrival of midnight. Participants will enjoy the musical evening animated by a DJ and two music bands, while the children have been set up a playground where they have set up an inflatable fun fair for them. The magical atmosphere of the Tenuta Astroni will make your New Year in Naples unforgettable. Dedicated menu for children. For more info and reservations see article on New Year’s Eve in Naples

NEW YEAR’S EVE IN A MEDIEVAL CASTLE

And finally, another suggestion is to spend the evening of New Year 2019 with your children at the medieval castle of Pavone Canavese, in the province of Torino. The children will be fascinated by the ancient walls of the castle and the clothes worn by the evening entertainers. Before and after dinner the children will have enough time to play with the characters of the castle of the time. On the other hand, who has never dreamed of being a knight or a princess? The evening, organized by the historic group Burgo Turris, costs € 85 for children between 4 and 12 years and includes in the price dishes and drinks.

NEW YEAR’S EVE

The New Year’s Eve represents a true tradition of Italian culture.

Among the most popular are those that are organized by clubs and restaurants, which offer menus with different price ranges, suitable for all budgets.

Spending the New Year’s Eve in a restaurant or in a club will avoid extra housekeeping and you will enjoy an excellent dinner waiting for midnight.

New Year’s dinners on the premises are transformed into real show-events, with various performances by different artists that attract the audience with their performances.

As an alternative to the restaurant, there is a New Year’s Eve dinner at home, perhaps more challenging but more in line with the Christmas style.

The menu is usually based on fish as tradition dictates, which among the typical dishes includes risotto with fish, fried king prawns, the mussel , spaghetti and clams etc.

Meat lovers can console themselves with the boiled mixed scent, the chicken broth and the timeless Chinese cote with lentils, usually served at the end of the dinner .

Reinforced salad and stewed lentils are classic side dishes that can not be missed.

If you are fascinated by the bucolic atmosphere you can book a dinner at a farm, where genuine menus are served with ingredients of own production and km 0.

There are many cultural, sports or motorcycle associations that organize a real cultural exchange in the kitchen where everyone engages in the specialty of his land.

For those who wait for midnight in the Italian squares, the dinner will be anticipated.

We recommend Ristomanager to ensure perfect management.

Interesting ideas can be at the spa, or at the theater, in other cultures New Year’s Eve is celebrated in a castle, in the disco.

Many will spend the New Year in the mountains or in the beautiful Italian squares, Dinner + disco, Dinners with crime, New Year’s Concerts and even in Cruise.

HOW TO ORGANIZE AN ENOGASTRONOMIC EVENT

ENOGASTRONOMIC EVENT. Here are all the documents regarding the authored process and the security management for the realization of temporary events.

First, however, let’s focus on the difference between a private food and wine event, organized within the walls of your own home and a public event. Then we will move on to the documents necessary for the organization of such an event.

ENOGASTRONOMIC EVENT

A food and wine event is a great opportunity to show your culinary skills, introduce people who may not be familiar with the different dishes you can cook in their honor or friends/ family visiting from outside the city. A way I like to do this?
Get ready by doing research on the types of dishes you will prepare, remembering that presentation is what matters most in these contexts (elegant serving helps more than anything else), providing adequate quantities so that everyone can taste them without feeling too full or go away before because they were hungry just a few minutes ago – not only when it’s time to eat!

ENOGASTRONOMIC EVENT

Organize by theme! It’s pretty easy when there are only 3-4 menu options (puffs might make sense, though!) but what about 10 courses? Make sure that everything flows together seamlessly so that guests have no problems following – then let them have fun without worrying if they are doing something wrong because everyone will do it.

The perfect way to organize a food and wine event is to have an intimate meeting with your closest friends. The most important thing you can do when you host this type of party for others, as well as provide delicious cuisine from the best chefs in the city (and make sure there is enough), is to choose wines that complete every dish offered so that people remain refreshed throughout the evening!

In the case of a public event…

Priority is RCT insurance coverage and copy devento gastronomic permissions.

Once you have completed all your bureaucratic obligations, have a management software.

able to handle a really high number of commands and that it functions without the internet.

Why?

With a high influx of people it’s normal that phones have no line and the internet is blocking.

Regular internet usage management is the cause of long-awaited events where speed is the consumer’s choice.

And the simplicity to help poorly recruited temporary waiters.

Good work!

Cosmofood 2018: excellence in the food, beverage & technology sector at the 6th edition.

Cosmofood 2018. Sixth edition of the fair dedicated to the excellence of the food, beverage & technology sector.

It will take place from 11 to 14 November 2018 at the Fiera di Vicenza exhibition space with 400 exhibitors and 100 events.

It is the main event of 2018 for the Triveneto area dedicated to the food, beverage and professional catering sectors.

Cosmofood 2018

Cosmofood has become the showcase parT excellence, an unmissable appointment for companies that want to be known by the many operators in the sector who visit it.

Managers of bars, restaurants, ice cream parlors, confectioners, buyers and GDO operators, specialized wholesalers and catering companies are looking to Cosmofood for their needs.

Cosmofood changes and evolves. Several new features ready.

Cosmofood 2018

It opens on Sunday, to be exact on 11 November at the Vicenza Fair, to arrive on Wednesday, November 14th. A shift that coincides with the increasingly business-to-business orientation that IEG has decided to give Cosmofood.

After five years of continuous growth, with an increase in the order of 50% of the B2B sector, the organizers have decided to change the profile of the kermesse by focusing decisively on the Ho.Re.Ca. sector.

The displacement of the event, opening on Sunday and closing on Wednesday, will be used to facilitate the participation of the business world.

The presence of new, important companies and leading companies for the Ho.Re.Ca sectors, food service, retail and contract in this edition expresses the attractiveness of an event with an innovative format, a B2B platform where you can present the latest news to professional operators.

Cosmofood 2018

Dedicated to the managers of bars, restaurants, hotels and accommodation facilities, ice cream parlors, pastry shops, buyers and retailers, specialized wholesalers and catering companies. You will find the best products in the food & beverage sector, plants, equipment and accessories for professional catering, to keep up-to-date and provide our customers with a high level of service. While on the consumer side the level of experience connected to the food world will be enhanced. With the possibility to find in the days of the event an increasingly accurate selection of high quality products from Italy and abroad.

The attention of Cosmofood towards the professional public has already obtained an extraordinary welcome in past editions. And it is the natural positioning of an event that, however, does not intend to forget the most demanding consumer public.

Cosmofood 2018

The strengthening of experiential events will in fact be able to make the event increasingly attractive for foodies, thanks also to the geolocation of the Vicenza Fair, in the heart of Veneto and the Northeast. In fact, Veneto is the most important Italian region for tourist presences. According to the latest ISTAT data, it recorded over 17.8 million tourists in 2016, of which over 11.5 million foreigners. Tourism in Veneto is the most important industry in the region, with aggregate turnover exceeding 17 billion euros.

THE PAVILIONS

Cosmofood 2018

The main pavilion is reserved for the B2B world where the leading companies in the service of the Ho.Re.Ca. and food service exhibit excellences in the food & beverage sector, plants, equipment and accessories for professional catering.

Operators can find all the news to keep up-to-date and provide their customers with a high level of service.

Another pavilion is dedicated to a selection of excellent producers where visitors can also buy directly. Inside are the following thematic areas: Cosmowine, with the best of the wine industry from Italy and abroad; Cosmobeer, dedicated to the world of craft beer, with microbreweries from all over Europe; Food and quality products; Food, Gluten Free, Bio & Vegan Intolerances where it will be possible to meet cutting-edge companies offering BIO products and foods for vegans, celiacs and lactose intolerant.

Why go to the fair for the Food, Beverage & Technology sector?

Chocolate, that’s why it should never be missing. Let’s celebrate the chocolate festival with the tasty Mud cake recipe

Chocolate festival. Let’s talk about chocolate, have you already enjoyed in your mouth?

Perhaps you will think of the film with Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche where they fell in love in a French town between one praline and another. Or the last chocolate cake you gave up for its high caloric intake. I’m sure nobody has thought about the benefits that chocolate gives to body and mind, just knowing how to choose the right one.

Chocolate festival

The chocolate landed in Europe in 1502 and became a medical remedy, it was thought in fact, that it was a drug for digestion, the proper functioning of the organism and that it even healed from depression. So it was beliefs, that cocoa paste has superlative properties, today we have the security.

A basic requirement for a quality product is cocoa paste as the first ingredient, therefore attentive to labels. Bad news for lovers of the white and milk variants, the ally of our health is the flux, which should contain at least 70% cocoa; the higher the percentage, the better it is.

Chocolate festival

The cocoa, in fact, contains the flavonoids, powerful antioxidants that we also find in berries, in red wine and citrus fruits. But why are they so important for our health

They prevent cardiovascular diseases
They protect the arteries
They improve memory
Antivirals
Anti-inflammatories
Antiallergeni
They fight obesity
They help the immune system

The positive effects are many and worth taking into consideration, however we must not forget the fact that chocolate is a very caloric food, 100 grams of product bring about 500 kcal, but if introduced into a healthy and balanced diet, some small picture is it will be able to taste without guilt.

CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL
An unmissable event for chocolate lovers, this year Perugia will host the Eurochocolate, at its twenty-fifth edition. From October 19th to 28th the Umbrian capital will be invaded by thousands of gluttons. For the occasion, three “tourist” packages have been created, which will allow participants to take part in the most prestigious chocolate festival on the peninsula. Below you will find descriptions of the travel offers and their prices:

Chocolate festival

Day trip, return journey by bus + day to Eurochocolate 49 euros
Weekend travel, return journey by bus + 2 days to Eurochocolate + one night in hotel (half board) + guided tour of Assisi 129 euro
Deluxe travel, return journey by bus + 2 days to the Eurochocolate + 2 nights at the hotel (half board) + guided tour of Assisi 219 euros
And if you are a lover of art, you can not miss the open-air gallery that offers Eurochocolate every year; the most admired are the sculptors, who succeed in modeling huge blocks of chocolate, creating works worthy of a museum.

Chocolate festival

RECIPE MUD CAKE
We could not finish an article on chocolate without giving you a recipe, we present the Mud Cake, or as it is called in its country of origin “Mississippi Mud Cake”.

Literally means mud cake but do not be fooled, it has been named for its soft and creamy texture, which reminds the banks of the Mississippi River. In the United States this sweet is present in the recipes of all families. Absolute protagonist, it can only be him, the CioccoRe, which makes this cake very substantial and therefore unsuitable for frequent consumption. For special occasions, it is a pity of throat that can be granted. A delight for the palate that will bring your taste buds on an entrancing journey.

INGREDIENTS:

250 grams of butter
250 grams of extra dark chocolate (70% minimum)
250 grams of sugar
130 grams of milk
4 eggs
1 sachet of vanillin
1 cup of coffee (optional)
50 grams of cocoa powder
200 grams of flour
1 sachet of baking powder
150 grams of extra dark chocolate
60 grams of fresh cream
grains of hazelnuts and pistachios

METHOD:

The first thing to do is to melt the chocolate in a bain-marie with the butter and sugar, mix all the ingredients and add the milk and the cup of coffee, continuing to mix over medium-low heat.

In a separate bowl, add the dry ingredients, then the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and vanilla sachet. Mix the ingredients and gently add the mixture previously dissolved in a bain-marie.

CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL

Take another container, break the eggs and after adding a pinch of salt, use the whisk or electric mixer for a few minutes at medium speed, until they are light and fluffy.

Add them to the mixture and mix with a spatula from bottom to top, this step is very important to avoid disassembling the mixture.

The game is done; take a 22 cm diameter cake tin, with butter and flour and then pour the mixture.

Static oven at 150 degrees for an hour and a half.

Now comes the easy and fun part, the preparation of the chocolate ganache; Once again melt the remaining chocolate (150 gr) with the bain-marie liquid cream, stirring occasionally. When it has reached a smooth and shiny consistency and the kitchen will be flooded with the dense scent of chocolate, you can pour it on the mud cake. To decorate, add the grains of hazelnuts and pistachios or alternatively a small pile of red fruits in the center. Enjoy your meal!

“There is not so much metaphysics on earth as in a chocolate”
(Fernando Pessoa)

How to organize a wine tasting dinner: 4 tips to follow.

Wine tasting dinner. Wine is an alcoholic beverage that never goes out of fashion. A wine tasting dinner is a popular and promotional event to try at your restaurant. The Wine Tasting Restaurant offers the opportunity to encourage businesses, especially during traditionally slow seasons. A wine tasting in the restaurant is similar to a home wine tasting, as guests will be sharing and conversing on many different wines.

Wine tasting dinner

However, a wine tasting in the restaurant goes further, inviting a sommelier (expert wine) to teach guests about the wines of the evening.

When you want to organize a wine tasting, the right atmosphere and theme can be fundamental to put guests at ease. A cozy environment with soft lighting would give them some stimuli while enjoying their experience as experienced sommeliers who know exactly which wines match well together
I personally helped many people prepare for these events by recommending some types or the most popular ones of France – Beaujolais n’kin French red wine; Chardonnay when it comes time to try something different but still familiar reds Bordeaux region.

Wine tasting dinner

Wine tasting dinner

You can propose wines produced in a specific region or vintage, or offer participants the possibility of an itinerary tailored to their interests. You could also do things like matching each person’s tastes with different types of wine – dessert wines (but be careful because they are usually sweeter and therefore more difficult than other varieties).
This article discusses some ideas you may want to use to host your next tasting session!

We recommend that you opt for a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 wines.

Wine tasting dinner

Whether you are organising wine tasting at home or in a restaurant or in a wine cellar, you will need, in addition to wine of course, some essential utensils to offer a perfect experience:

Glass with stem, to avoid that the heat of the hands can change the properties of the wine.
Decanter, to allow the wine to oxygenate once opened and then to release its flavor.
Bread and water, to clean the palate between sips.

Wine tasting dinner

There are countless types of wine, from classic French or Californian wines to locally produced wines to more exotic, (rare wines). Work with your sales person or a sommelier to help you choose a robust wine menu. A sommelier is a person with experience in wine. Your wine can either put you in touch with a sommelier or do the work yourself. Many wine distributors will help you at every stage of planning a wine tasting, since you buy wine from them directly.

Choose the Complimentary Foods

Once you have decided on a selection of wines that complement each other, select the menu items that will also complete each wine.

Think beyond the old rules such as white wine with chicken and fish and red wine with beef and pork. In this case too, in collaboration with your sommelier, just plan a tasting menu that will help you plan the perfect combination of food and wine.

Invite Guests

Once you have the details of the tasting (date, time, wine list, dinner, price) it’s time to get the word out. Take your social media accounts to promote your wine tasting in your restaurant. Emphasize that space is limited, to encourage early bookings. You can sell tickets or take reservations, or both. It is important to have a certain number of guarantees, so you know how much wine to order and how much food to prepare. Order around 10% more food and wine than you need for last minute bookings.

Educate your staff

If this is your first taste of wine restaurant, it is important to educate your staff on the protocol of the evening. Review the routine step by step, with both servers and kitchen staff. Give everyone a copy of the wine list and menu, so that they know in what order they will have to serve wines and dishes. Ask the staff to read the wines that are served, so that they can answer simple questions for guests, including wine, the types of grapes that have been used, etc …

Escort of Wine Glasses

Lack of wine glasses? Make sure you have enough glasses of wine for the evening. Each person will have a glass, for each wine served. So if you are serving you need to have six glasses for each guest. If you have 50 guests, you will need 300 glasses of wine.

5 trends of successful catering.

Successful catering. Let’s see together the different culinary trends in catering

Succesful catering. It is always difficult to decide what to include in the menus designed for catering, especially because of the varied tastes of their customers! For this reason, it can certainly be useful to know the various culinary trends in catering.

With the introduction of yellow zones, opening at lunchtime and early closure in 2022 it is expected that 36% will resume eating out in breaks. This may be due to the fact that flexible work is becoming more entrenched in the daily routine, where people can choose when to return from work instead of being required only once a week or month as before.

TheFork noted how this new system could lead employees to take possession of a habit won by the end of 2021, namely to use wisely these times during the rest days to indulge rather than store them until later after long hours.

Succesful catering

The kitchen in the dark is a new segment of the catering industry that will definitely establish itself in 2021. This space contains only the necessary to cook and prepare food, no frills such as renting a useless room or staff costs – you eat instead at the customer’s home! The product can be more flexible with these reduced expenses; when times get tough during recessions there is not much left but this one idea: quickly move the headquarters maintaining its quality standards (and maybe even increase prices).

Successful catering

Food with local ingredients
One of the most used culinary trends in catering in the current menus is to offer food made with local products. This includes meat, poultry, fish, fruit and vegetables. The use of food made with local ingredients or in any case belonging to the territory in which it operates, is an important part of the great trends that look at environmental sustainability and healthy eating. The typical local dishes are very suitable for most events with catering, because often you are creating a personalized menu for the specific event.

Successful catering
Healthy menus
Another culinary trend in catering is to offer menus that go beyond meat; inserting something like potatoes and some steamed vegetables will help you offer healthy foods like whole grains, a variety of vegetables and fresh fish that are definitely a good way to show off your great culinary skills. Does this mean that you should eliminate fried fish or mozzarella sticks from your menus? Not at all; rather you should consider adding low-calorie, low-calorie foods, such as lean cuts of beef, pork, poultry or fish, as well as making smaller portions (and at lower prices).

Gluten-free foods

Successful catering
Many people suffer from the annoying gluten intolerance, while others eliminate it from their diet, in an attempt to eat healthier. No matter why, gluten-free cooking is one of the biggest culinary trends in catering that is expanding more. There are many delicious gluten-free dishes that offer good food costs, and also serves as an opportunity to experiment with many alternative ingredients like amaranth, cassava flour and teff.

Ethnic cuisine and street food

Succesful catering
Oriental cuisine, and in particular the one of the Middle East, has had a dizzying growth in the menus of 2014. This trend also entails a greater tendency to use alternative ingredients. Just think of ingredients like the pomegranate syrup for breakfast, as an alternative to maple syrup. Then I suggest you to look for exotic spices and mixtures of these, such as Togarashi, zataar and shichimi, and to offer together with salt and pepper.

One of the culinary trends in catering offers dishes inspired by the ethnic fusion of street food. From the Mexican churros, to the Spanish tapas, the Chinese dim sum up to the Middle Eastern skewers, the more international the menu, the better. These types of dishes worked well with pickup trucks or for accompanying cocktails.

Successful catering
Homemade cooking
In the homemade style the food is served on plates and the people serve themselves (just like at home). You can see this kind of lunch at many traditional Chinese and Korean restaurants. If you are offering catering services on your restaurant, home cooking is great for small and medium-sized groups. It is much easier to feed 50 people at the same time if you let them serve 10 salads.
