If you’re crying out for carbonara or dreaming of sanctions-free parmesan, make sure you check out the “Week of Italian Cuisine in the World” organized by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Policies.
Through November 27, 105 countries around the world will celebrate the cuisine of the mediterranean with everything from cooking shows and masterclasses to film screenings, food shows and public talks. The good news? You can live la dolce vita in Moscow too.
From wine tasting at the DI Telegraph Center to a talk by Italian chef Enrica Rocca about the history of Venetian cuisine, there’s something for all foodies to get stuck into this week. Other highlights include a presentation from Carlo Odescalchi about the culinary tradition of Roman aristocratic families and master confectioner June di Schino preparing extravagant deserts according to 17th century recipes.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
