8 to 10 February are the dates fro this year’s Food Experience Mondadori, the show-event on the culture of food and wine that in recent years has been part of the most important international events held in Milan, such as the Fashion Week and the Design Week.

For its fourth edition, the Mondadori initiative, that is run in collaboration with Sale&Pepe, will be a part of the Milan Food&Wine Festival, an encounter with some of the leading players in the world of wine and designer cuisine and an opportunity to discover the best products and some of the most interesting Italian chefs, to be held at MiCo Milano Congressi – Gate 15 (Via Gattamelata, 5).

The Mondadori Food Experience will present 3 days of show-cooking for adults and children, guided tastings and cooking classes open to everyone, alongside the food and wine trails and tastings organised by the Festival, with 400 wines and some 24 chefs, pastry cooks and pizzaioli. Also this year, the formula includes exhibitions by big-name chefs and a rich calendar of events and activities to learn the techniques and secrets of haute cuisine, taste outstanding delicacies and actively participate in their preparation. Among the names present over the three days are pastry expert Davide Comaschi, gold medal-winner at the World Chocolate Master 2013, as well as prestigious chefs such as pizza maestro Simone Padoan, the chef star Davide Oldani, the revelation Luciano Monosilio, the virtuous Loretta Fanella, on this occasion running a designer class for children, and many more. All accompanied on the stage by the editor of Sale&Pepe Laura Maragliano
