Una Cena Pugliese

By Manuela | October 1, 2014 | InBlog, General

On Tuesday 21 of October, we are having a special dinner at ‘Bei Amici’ Restaurant. The theme will be Puglia, a region in the very south of Italy.

In June this year, I visited the Salento region of Puglia, the very bottom of the heel of Italy. I was astounded by the beauty of this region, the people and the wonderful food.

Felix (the chef and owner of ‘Bei Amici’) and I often organise these special evenings, where I design the menu and Felix prepares the food.

The guests get to experience and taste dishes from areas they might not have known before. It is always a wonderful and lively evening. The food just keeps arriving on the long table, the conviviality is great.
