Culinary students at Vancouver Island University (VIU) will be celebrating the cuisine of Italy during World VIU Days Nov. 3 through 7. Students and the public are invited to learn about the global Slow Food Movement and its Italian connections with Italian Chef Marcella Ansaldo at a free presentation Tuesday, Nov. 4, from 4 to 6 pm in Building 356, Room 109.
Chef Ansaldo operates the Giglio Cooking School in Florence, Italy. Chef Debbie Shore, head of the Vancouver Island Culinary Institute at VIU, visited Chef Ansaldo with a group of Culinary students on a Study Abroad trip in May, and extended the invitation to Ansaldo to visit VIU. Another group of Culinary students will return to Florence and Tuscany in May 2015.
