About Eatery Launches New Tasting Menu – Locale Vol. 1

About Eatery has launched its new tasting menu – Locale vol.1 recently. This tasting menu is crafted by Chef Gabriele Tozza Luna as the first edition of About Eatery’s educative tasting menu series on introducing local produces and natural wine. The aim of this series is to not only celebrate the diversity and quality of locally-grown ingredients but, importantly, to also share and discuss the stories of the people and lands behind them.

Locale
adj. (Italian). existing in or belonging to a specified area
noun (English). a place where something happens or is set, or that has particular events associated with it

There are six courses in the tasting menu. Each course features an ingredient either locally grown or locally produced in Thailand. I am especially amazed to be able to interact with the producers. Since not so many restaurants can boldly introduce and showcase their sources of produces and harvests in front of their own customers, I feel especially wonderful that I was able to know exactly where the food in front of me is from.

It’s a genuine Italian cuisine beautifully brought by Chef Gabriele. I love every course I have had and am pretty impressed that local products can make tasty Italian cuisine. Of course, credits should also go to Chef Gabriele’s effort and culinary skills.
