A live student cook-off and cooking show has taken at Blackpool and the Fylde College to celebrate Italian cured meats as part of an international educational initiative.
Led and organised by ITA - the Italian Trade Agency - in collaboration with ASSICA (Associazione Industriali delle Carni e dei Salumi – Association of Italian Meats and Cured Meats), the event featured a live cooking competition involving three culinary students, each challenged to create an original dish with Italian cured meats as the central ingredient.
With ITA operating a worldwide network of 69 offices and 18 Satellite offices in 74 countries, the event was a chance for chefs to demonstrate technical skill, creativity and contemporary presentation.
Held in association with Lancashire and the North West Magazine, the event was hosted and presented by celebrated Italian culinary expert Maurizio Bocchi.
