Welcome to the seventh lesson of Italian Cooking & Food Masterclass by Professor Daverio. As every Saturday, the new video is online to satisfy your curiosity about our beloved treasure, food.
Try to answer to the following questions: Did the corn arrive in Italy before or after the discovery of America? What's the origin of the polenta? And the Milanese risotto? No worries, we've got you covered. Today Professor Daverio will take you to another incredible topic: Polenta and Rice.
Philippe Daverio tells the story of Polenta and Rice, showing us how Italy is a country rich in contamination and crossovers with other cultures-- all the world in the pan! From the cobs represented in paintings of the 9th century to the first traces of rice in Horace's Satires, where its beneficial properties were already exalted, Professor Daverio explores all the aspects of their story.
The Italian Cooking & Food Masterclass by Professor Daverio includes 10 video lessons on 10 different topics, including Spaghetti, Wine and Chocolate. Mark the weekly lesson on your agenda: every Saturday we will publish a new video, don't miss it!
