A Culinary Encounter with Museums

 

Italian chef Antonino, who lives in Nanjing, China, loves Chinese culture. He always wanted to learn from his ancestor Marco Polo as a “culture ambassador” for exchanges between the two countries. 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Italy. Antonino embarked on a “journey to the museums.” From the duck dishes recorded in the “Food Menu in the Six Dynasties Period” and the “Eight Immortals of Water” featured in the “Baimen Cookbook,” to the Zhuangyuan Cake beloved by imperial examination scholars he found culinary inspiration by exploring museums in Nanjing. Over a month, he fused these inspirations into innovative dishes, bringing a unique taste of China to the international dining table!
