WELCOME TO CARBONARA DAY
WHAT IS ABOUT
The idea comes from Monica Olivieri, food marketing expert and food event organizer, from her profound love for pasta and the recipe. Carbonara is one of the most popular Italian/Roman dishes in London.
British people also grew up with this specialty, along with other Italian recipes (see the baby meal pot of Bolognese, Lasagna, Amatriciana), but overlooking its origin and the original formula. It seems that Carbonara is part of the English menu, too, but with a new interpretation (cream and mushroom).
The event is focused on the iconic Carbonara dish and to its traditional recipe.
It is an educational food event, a cultural event about Italian food and Italian culture, and it is a charity event in support of homeless people.
CARBONARA SOSPESA THE CHARITY ACTION
Through a ‘Carbonara Sospesa’ (Carbonara suspended), we will support ‘Mudchute Association’, which provides food for the community through its food poverty project.
A Carbonara Sospesa is basically a Carbonara left paid for somebody who cannot buy food, it’s a real donation left to the Mudchute Park and Farm, which helps providing homeless people food.
THE EVENT
6 International chefs will prepare Carbonara, but just the Italian chefs will be entitled to cook it with a special twist.
Carbonara Sospesa is the medium through which people will make a donation.
In the green area food producers will promote and sell their products.
Live music and kids activities (face painting, ballons) also will be on the spot.
