Crusing Spots South Beach

simple as a glass of water?


On Twenty-four, the magazine de Il Sole 24 ore , this month we read a remarkable article.

's Adam , Tasters Mineral Water Association, really exists and is the brainchild of a sommelier (Mario Celotti), a maitre d'hotel (Giuseppe Amato), and a pulmonologist specializing in hydrology (Alessio).

The association offers training course for idrosommelier , but, on the site, also a pleasant ragala water maps that indicate the approach correctly as any food with the right water.


The idea, of course, sent us literally sollucchero, especially since the article, as well as the site contain a number of suggestions remarkable.

Serving recommended (we quote verbatim the article):

- water is best natural, minimally mineralized, meaning a very low dry residue on vegetables, desserts and pasta with tomato sauce as garganelli.

- all right on the effervescent natural mozzarella, pasta with egg on that simple and filled with ricotta and vegetables. (...) The most mineral-rich is perfect with the fish in the oven and roast beef.

- the sparkling waters are suitable for meats, chicken, red meat. Stew and firorentina be matched with a water charge of bubbles that cleans the palate.

- the oyster is a must Vichy Saint-Yorre for that extra pinch of baking soda.

- for the sushi chef Massimo Perrella indicate the Tau, a Welsh accent and slightly sweet.

- for spicy dishes is recommended Ogo, mixed with oxygen (35 percent) to anesthetize the taste buds. They call it "water breathing".

- for mature cheese takes the Dutch M'Eau, rich in calcium and magnesium.

How To Congratulate A Woman That Just Had A Baby

Ferran Adrià has appeared in Milan


I do not want you to think that face of easy irony.

No.

Why Ferran Adrià is really appeared in Milan.

In the sense that he made a much publicized as fleeting.

Monday, March 23, 2009, at the Sozzani Gallery in Milan presented his latest book A Day at elBulli (Phaidon Press Limited ).

Well presented is a big word.

was on hand to autograph all the happy owners of so great tome.

Or at least that's what I was told.

also realized I admire The Chef and hear what he said, despite my unusual punctuality I could not attend all'epocale event.

And not for the hordes of students, pensioners, curious, etc svips. flocked to the event.

No. Just because the privilege of enjoying for a few moments of his calligraphy and arts vision of his person was the exclusive prerogative of the holders of that tome.

Ohibò.
