Chef Training Course (#3) – Ayaka S

Preparation at a famous restaurant
In the preparation tour of a famous restaurant, we observed the preparation of a famous Florentine restaurant, TRATTORIA MARIO. Trattoria Mario is a family-run restaurant that has been in operation for four generations. The menu changes daily, and the menu list is rewritten every day. This is the secret that makes us want to come here every day.

This time, after visiting the restaurant, we actually had a taste of the restaurant’s menu!
All of the dishes are traditional Tuscan cuisine.

名店の仕込み
名店の仕込み見学では、フィレンツェの名店「TRATTORIA・MARIO(トラットリア・マリオ) 」の仕込みを見学させてもらいました。トラットリア・マリオは、4代にわたり続いている家族経営のお店。メニューは日替わりで毎日、メニュー表を書き直しているそうです。毎日通いたくなる秘密がここにあります。

今回はこのお店で見学後、実際にお店のメニューをいただきました!
どれも伝統的なトスカーナ料理たち。

Agriturismo
During the agriturismo training, we learned about the growing process of grapes and olives and learned about farm cooking using home-grown herbs..
.
From Florence, we took a bus to the outskirts of the city. I could feel the magnificent nature of Tuscany and took a lot of pictures..
.
We also tasted appetizers and wine made with vegetables and meat from this region. It was a very profound training program that allowed us to experience the richness of Italian food.

This time, after visiting the restaurant, we actually had a taste of the restaurant’s menu!
All of the dishes are traditional Tuscan cuisine.

アグリツーリズモ
アグリツーリズモ研修で、ブドウやオリーブの生育過程を学んだり、自家製ハーブを使用した農園料理を学びました。

フィレンツェからバスで郊外へ出かけます。雄大なトスカーナの自然を感じることができて、たくさん写真を撮っちゃいました。

日本では見ることのない、大きなワインのタンクを目の当たりにしたり、この地域でとれる野菜やお肉を使った前菜とワインを味わいました。イタリアの食の豊かさを感じることのできるとても奥深い研修でした。
