Italian cuisine continues to hide an ancient tradition of Italian culinary skills passed down through generations of nonnas in the kitchen. For chef Rita Monastero, this tradition is a key part of the experience. An author and a regular presence on Italian television and radio, the chef will participate in a rare masterclass in Byculla on traditional Italian recipes this Sunday.
The visit is part of the series titled A Taste of Italy: A Journey Between Tradition and Modernity, organised by the Consulate General of Italy in Mumbai, Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Mumbai, and the Italian National Tourist Board in collaboration with Magazine St Kitchen.
