MSC Cruises Has Just Posted the Following:
The location: the Mediterranean Sea under sunny days and star-filled nights skies. The setting: an elegant floating hotel, MSC Poesia. The dates: 17 to 24 October 2009. The event: a culinary cruise for epicureans who want to enjoy exceptional Italian dining.
Europe's leading line of cruise ships, MSC Cruises, is partnering with Italy's renowned Buon Ricordo Association to offer guests seven fabulous gastronomic specialties. Each evening guests will have the opportunity of enjoying a different meal, each coming from one of the seven Buon Ricordo's restaurants situated in Paris (France), Kanagawa (Japan), in various regions of Italy and onboard of MSC Poesia.
Savour Tuscany's famed truffle soup Ribollita, a creamy polenta and Montasio cheese dish from Friuli, grouper escalopes with citrus fruits from Sicily, lamb with juniper from Calabria, or a succulent dish of pigeon, mushrooms and potatoes from France. For an exotic touch, MSC Cruises is bringing in a special chef from "The Bamboo" restaurant, in Kanagawa, to create a fascinating rustic recipe (no sneak previews: you'll have to be on board to discover it). On the final day of the cruise guests will be treated to the privilege of indulging in the Buon Ricordo MSC Restaurant "L'Obelisco" tastiest dish: king prawns tossed with sweet garlic on a bed of fresh spinach, pine nuts and capers.
For those wishing to take home a lasting souvenir, a limited number of Buon Ricordo plates made by the celebrated ceramicists of Vietri will be offered to guests who chose the Buon Ricordo specialty of the day. Each plate carries an inscription on the back reading "Crociera del Buon Ricordo - Nave MSC Poesia - ottobre 2009".
There's more than just fine dining as guests will also have the opportunity to participate in wine tasting and cooking courses.
Master oenologist Genuino Del Duca will lead a wine-tasting demonstration to teach up to 100 MSC guests how to recognize and understand fine wine. Special red and white wines sampled at the tasting will be served with regional Buon Ricordo specialties and include vintages from the Vino della Pace, a unique Friulian cellar with wines from five continents and six hundred varieties of grape.
Buon Ricordo's award-winning chef Paolo Teverini will both welcome and oversee the cooking classes where groups of guests will be taught how to prepare the daily specialty. Participants will receive an Italian cooking certificate from the Buon Ricordo chefs.
The Buon Ricordo association was founded in 1964 to safeguard and promote local Italian cooking traditions. MSC Cruises and Buon Ricordo Association began working together in November 2008.
