One of our most appreciated and important sense is taste, not in a metaphorical sense, but literally. The taste for food, for example, distinguishes us as men; the taste for art as educated men. If we combine the two things we have a lasting partnership that results in multiple visions, one of which is cinema.

The event we want to talk about today is called Movie'N'Food - Taste of Cinema, a cinema culinary journey built through images of the famous Italian photographer Rino Barillari, who in his career has portrayed the greatest stars of Hollywood while they were eating, between Rome and the United States.

After the success had in Los Angeles in November 2013, in the first of the four 2014 stages in the USA the exhibition /event conceived and curated by Dress in Dreams, by Elisabetta Cantone and Francesca Silvestri, arrives in Houston, Texas. A tribute to the creativity of Made in Italy, which was inserted between the main events that have promoted our country in the U.S..

From April 10 to 12 there will be three days of meetings between the flavors, the taste of food that combines the spectacle of cinema through cooking classes and themed dinners with the excellence of our regions, which in the large Italian American community in Texas preserve the cult of the Italian Style with attention and protection almost as an "endangered species".

There will be two chefs selected to prepare the tasting for the participating delegations, namely Maurizio Ferrarese of Quattro Restaurant at the Four Seasons and Giancarlo Ferrara of Amalfi, who will be joined by two leading sommeliers, Paulina Avendano and Jeremie Heng from Hotel Granduca. The wines will be from the best wine cellars of our country.

Therefore, a unique opportunity to combine a visit to the Texan city and the meeting with Italian food, a collection of export products that you can find through cinema only on this occasion. It's not a spot, but a hot tip to go to the event to test your senses. Taste in the first place.
