Lo scorso 8 novembre, il Console Generale Zelioli ha presentato alla stampa locale e al pubblico le varie iniziative che verranno realizzate a Toronto in occasione dell’ottava Settimana della Cucina Italiana nel Mondo (13-19 novembre).
Il tema di quest’anno è “Dining with the Italian cuisine: well-being with taste”, per sottolineare che la Cucina Italiana presenta una componente di salute e sostenibilità, come la più ampia “Dieta Mediterranea” (dichiarata patrimonio dell’umanità dall’UNESCO).
Partner del Consolato nell’edizione 2023 della Settimana della Cucina Italiana: Eataly (che ha ospitato presso la Trattoria Milano l’evento di presentazione della Settimana), l’Agenzia ICE, l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Toronto, la Camera di Commercio Italiana in Ontario, la Federazione Italiana Cuochi in Canada, l’Accademia della Cucina Italiana.
