Bake Italian @ La Pinseria
Pizza was yesterday: Top Sardinian Chef Giovanni Melis was teaming up with Alessandro Ibba from the famous Iginio Massari cooking school to show us how to conjure up the best Pinsa Romanas – a delicacy from ancient Rome that is reinterpreted today and enjoying a renaissance particularly in Italy. The Pinsa may look like a pizza, but it’s far from it: Toppings are traditionally added after baking, and the dough is more easily digestible thanks to a longer rising time and healthier ingredients. Also part of the workshop was how to use different types of flour, whip up a sourdough and bake without yeast. Well that, and having lots fun preparing and baking with kindred spirits.

Pop-up Fire Kitchen @ Zum Alten Bahnhof Letten
The historical Bahnhof Letten railway station was popping up as a restaurant par excellence during FOOD ZURICH 2019: Where trains once chugged through, top Chef Chris Züger and his team were barbecuing a down-home, multiple-course menu on several fire rings. For the ingredients, the kitchen crew went on a road trip across the Grisons – all the way from Bündner Herrschaft to Prättigau, through Mittelbünden and Val Poschiavo down to Misox, where they visited local producers and brought back a big backpack full of carefully curated specialties – all combined for an exquisite feast: from an apéro to goat cheese from the region that brings back memories of fresh mountain spring water, lush Alpine meadows and bright sunshine. Definitely a favourite!

East meets West: Bal-i-stanbul @ Sherly’s Kitchen
A culinary celebration, a creative fusion with fireworks of flavour: Bal-i-stanbul united Anatolian and Indonesian cuisine for a colorful feast. Fusion of the cuisines from these two multifaceted culinary hotspots opened the door to great creative freedom in putting together an eclectic menu. The well-rehearsed team served exotic highlights in four to five courses. To set the mood, Ayu talked about Indonesia while Bahar revealed unknown fun facts about Anatolian culinary culture.
