A little more than a year after the last CHIC event in Piedmont, Wednesday 11 September In The Kitchen Tour returns to one of the regions most suited to good food and agro-food culture for the 4th stage of the event year BTOB conceived and organized by CHIC - Charming Italian Chef: an opportunity to meet the chefs of the area with national companies in the sector and with the excellence of Piedmontese food and wine.

The event will be, as always, dedicated to the confrontation, knowledge and tasting of the excellence of the territory and to the contaminations: over 20 chefs and pizza makers, from 10.30 to 14.30, will cook guided by improvisation and by the suggestions of the moment, choosing the raw materials among the products of the companies present. A sort of "market area" with about 30 companies, including national association partners and local companies, will be the source of inspiration for the CHIC culinary jam session.

The Piedmontese appointment of 2019 will be held at Cascina Faletta 1881, in the heart of Monferrato, an estate dating back to the end of 800. It is suggested by the original ceramic plaque bearing this date, still placed on the entrance portal. A first element that announces the precise desire of the owners, Elena Novarino and Giovanni Rosso to preserve the extraordinary traces of the past. A meticulous renovation, according to the canons of green building, has allowed the creation of a wonderful farmhouse, ten rooms (two of which are apartments) equipped with every comfort, a winery (producing reds, whites and bubbles) with tasting room and a restaurant, the Restaurant Faletta 1881 which offers dishes from the great Piedmontese tradition, interpreted with genius and elegance, led by Paolo Viviani, CHIC member since 2017. Born in Novara, before joining Faletta 1881 he undertook numerous experiences in hotels and restaurants high level: his Piedmontese origins, the experience gained, the passion for cooking and knowledge of the territory are the fundamental ingredients that guide him in the creation of his dishes.

Paolo Viviani will obviously be the coordinator and "head brigade" of the day, where Piedmontese chefs will be involved, but also Lombard and Ligurian and some pizza chefs who together will cook unpublished dishes and pizzas, impromptu inspired by local products. «It will be a memorable day. Working side by side with other chefs is stimulating and always leads to incredible results, "said Viviani.
