How Much In Total Would Snowbombing Cost

tasting beer with Baladin Teo Musso

Yes, the rich program Facefood 2010 also includes this: the encounter with Teo Musso (photo: source), founder of the largest Italian manufacturer of craft beer, which is the Brewery Baladin .

Google is full of references to him, because in a few years has succeeded in creating a myth around his beer mixing tradition and innovation in an original way, however, in a country traditionally known for the quality of its wines, namely in Piedmont in the province of Cuneo.

A brand to Baladin, continues to grow, which fully reflected the personality, courage and determination of its creator, when in fact you choose to drink a beer Baladin you choose to espouse the philosophy of Teo, and the design, its history.

And we will honor not only him but also to Facefood 2010 taste of its beers the day Friday, May 21: During the dinner fact, we will enjoy all its creatures.

will be an amazing, when I discovered the value and quality of Italian beer still insufficiently appreciated in my opinion with respect to its potential. A unique experience that we share all together by learning to discover the characteristics that determine the quality of a good beer.
not know about you, but I have not ever approached the world of beer, maybe because I've always preferred the wine, but I must admit that the 'encounter with Teo Musso and beer Baladin fascinates me so much, I'm not nearly in the skin!

And you, what do you think? It is another good reason not to miss Facefood 2010?

Luciano Pignataro Facefood in 2010!

We had already announced the news and all you were curious ... The first is that Facefood 2010 has been postponed to next week, ie 21 to 23 May ! The latter, surely the most unexpected is ... Luciano Pignataro , will be at our Facefood 2010 !

Luciano Pignataro Ma .. who is? Well, many of you surely know him, admired him, they judge. But for those who do not know, you transcribe it directly to his presentation in his wineblog , the number 1 in Italy:


" Luciano Pignataro degree in Philosophy and a professional journalist, work in the morning where years by a column on wine in 1994 following the great revival of viticulture and Bell South. the center of his interests quality catering, the defense of local products and environmentally friendly agriculture. E 'Editions dell'Ippogrifo author of the only guides, sponsors free, the wines of Campania and Basilicata as well as the head repeatedly exhausted lucky Recipes Cilento now in its third edition. Published by Newton Compton Neapolitan cooking seafood , The Neapolitan cakes , 101 wines to drink at least once in their lifetime . He won the prize Veronelli as best Italian journalist in 2008. Since 1998 works with the Restaurant Guide Espresso is committed to the new Italian Wines Guide to Slow Food. "

I do not think it can best be summed up his experience, his professionalism and his continued dedication to the discovery and defense of the culinary traditions of southern Italy. There is no restaurant or business that does not do anything to meet him and, perhaps, receive a review. There is no fan of local food and wine (like me and Joseph) who do not want to shake his hand and congratulate him.

it was a dream for us here in Matera at Facefood Do not know how to contact him, to convince him to participate ... But, as often happens, suddenly become part of your life of great people, willing to help you out and make your plans come true. Before it was hit with Gaetano Lionetti, who gave us the strength to undertake this enterprise, and this time, however, was a good friend to make possible the presence of Luciano Pignataro Facefood in 2010. I'm talking about John Foam , Slow Food Trust Matera. One morning we talked with him and the event seemed to speak the same language: the same passion for local food and wine, the same desire to escape from small Lucan creating something great that involved the whole of Italy, the same tenacity and inventiveness. There has been guaranteed his support, perhaps reading in our eyes the dreamy his own passions, and told us that he would do anything to help. Yesterday, then, the phone call we were waiting for a week ... " Angela, Joseph, Luciano Pignataro will confirm that our . You can not imagine the immense joy that I and Joseph we tried to hear that a great honor enogastronomy us with his presence ... I wondered "Who knows why agreed without hesitation to participate in an event organized by two pinch-...?! any shot." I do not know why she said yes, but I take this opportunity to say right now that we are very grateful and honored to have him with us!
I'm delighted and looking forward! I want to know! And you?

Piesse : tomorrow I will reveal another surprise, another reason not to miss the Facefood 21-22-23 May 2010! Stay tuned!

FACEFOOD 2010, the first gathering of food and wine bloggers

I confess to being particularly excited to write this post. It 'difficult because mine is a mix of emotions are not easy to explain: emotion, enthusiasm, euphoria, anxiety ... and so on and so forth! And 'finally, after months of work off-line I can tell you about a new event will bring together all lovers of food and wine online.

But you might be wondering "who is but ... who writes? "You are right, excuse me, emotion plays tricks. Angela are, many know me for my blog and my shop typical products of Puglia and Basilicata .'m Online only a few months but I was completely absorbed by this world that allowed me to discover a latent passion for cooking, meeting new people and making new friends.

Some of them even managed to get to know them in person through small meetings as happened in Palermo (where I met Paoletta , the uncle Piero , Cinzia , Mariella and Anita) and power (where I met Tinuccia ). Dating brief but intense, animated by a great desire to know , even to shake hands with people who have learned to love only in the network, want to talk about cooking , to share experiences and culinary because no, see new places not yet visited. I do not know if you have never participated in these small gatherings, but is a wonderful experience, especially if you have the opportunity to embrace the veterans of the network, people you've come to know through posts, links, comments, you've only seen nell'avatar, and maybe you've always admired for their creativity, their creativity, their ability to engage and gather around him many readers. Well, I have been lucky enough to experience these emotions I will never forget and I can not wait to try again. It 's a bit of advertising effect explained by Costa Crociere, after a similar experience is difficult to get back to reality! ;))))
Well, I now want to broaden the circle, want to know you, my readers, not because we are all linked by a common denominator: a passion for cooking and the net!

Then, at some point, I wondered "Why expected to organize others? Why do not I commit myself personally? Why not organize an event that rallies all foodbloggers , the winebloggers and love cooking in a gathering in the beautiful scenery of the Sassi of Matera ? "

's so that comes FACEFOOD 2010, the 1 st national meeting of foodbloggers, winebloggers and wine lovers. Because" facefood? "Well, I swear to choose the name of the initiative which was quite complicated, because we wanted a name which combined the idea of \u200b\u200bthe network and the culinary arts. Then I thought, why not to overturn the name of social-network adapting it to the world's most famous centerpiece of the initiative, namely the food and wine?

The idea was there, as well, missing only one person to help me organize everything.
He spoke a day with Gary, owner of ' Lionetti Travel Agency in Matera, and he, with all its disponiblitità told me "You you sure you want to do? " and I " Yes! , "and he" So ... we organize everything. " Then, the magic word: "You can count on me! " Within a couple of months we have put together some ideas, established a program and now we are here, ready to offer it in the hope that you participate in many, because the more the merrier!

shortly publish the program : I only say that the event will include the (hopefully sunny!) weekends from May 21 to 23 and, as already mentioned, will take place here in Matera, in the picturesque scenery of the famous "Sassi" UNESCO World Heritage Site. The event will focus on Saturday 22 May, when we will not only visit the city but we'll take you to a location that will allow us to set up different taste laboratories within which we will learn the secrets and culinary traditions of southern Italy, such as the dough and forming the famous Bread of Matera, the orecchiette, cavatelli, we'll live the best of traditional cheese from Puglia, a pastry chef will show us how to prepare the famous dolcemandorla ... The novelty is that you will not be merely passive spectators, but will be given the opportunity to participate actively after witnessing demonstrations (what I have called the "taste workshops ") by highly skilled professionals.

beckoning you the idea to try to form the Bread of Matera? Well, a baker will teach you as you try to produce mozzarella !

The other two days will be used for arrivals / departures and to visit other architectural beauties of the city! Ah, I forgot, there is also space for photography ! I assure you that you have so much to photograph that you just do not even have a gig card from 1000! Guaranteed! We will also provide information on reservations and payment! Not even that you must stop! What more? Flock! It will be a wonderful experience that will not easily forget. A chance to know each other, exchange ideas and relax in a beautiful city like Matera.

only ask you to help me spread the word about this initiative in the network in your blog, facebook, twitter, friendfeed ... anywhere! If you can, expose the banner so that it can be visible to all. Facefood I would like to turn into a big event to repeat every year in different cities! The success of the rally is also in your hands: the scene for a wonderful experience we are all, missing only your participation.
