Learn Authentic Italian Cooking in NZ
Monday, 22 November 2010
Starting in December, Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) will be offering certified Italian cooking training through an exciting new partnership with Italy’s top regional food academy - Academia Barilla.
(via NMIT) It’s the first time the respected Academia Barilla has partnered with an institute outside of Italy, to provide professional authentic Italian cookery training. Executive Director of Academia Barilla, Gianluigi Zenti is coming to Nelson to officially launch the new Academia Barilla Centre for New Zealand.
The centre is to be run by Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology’s, as part of the NMIT School of tourism, Hospitality and Wellbeing. NMIT Chef James Perry has been trained and certified at the Academia Barilla in Parma Italy and will train second year professional cookery students in fundamental Italian regional gastronomy. Professional cookery students who complete the training can become certified in the Fundamentals of Italian Regional Gastronomy.
As well as the specialist teaching for professional chef training, the Academia Barilla Centre for New Zealand will also be offering week-long Italian cookery courses, open to New Zealanders with a passion for authentic Italian cooking.
Academia Barilla is part of the Barilla Group, which is one of Italy’s oldest and largest food companies. Academia Barilla was created to educate about the culinary and cultural history of regional Italy.
This exclusive relationship has taken over a year to cultivate and is the result of dedication by Elizabeth Latham.
“It is a huge honour that NMIT has been selected to be a centre of excellence for Academia Barilla. Nelson is an ideal place to set up this unique training because of its strong Italian community and unique access to its own Mediterranean food resources such as olives, tomatoes, and fresh seafood.”
