China and Italy are two peoples who love life, especially the requirements for food. Hard-working people in China squeeze out dinner time at work, and also set a table with several dishes and soup, and the whole family get together with chopsticks. The first course of Italian knife and fork, pasta or stewed rice, staple food, meat or seafood, bread, wine and mineral water are also essential, and coffee after meals is absolutely essential.
The blue sky and sea water with southern European customs, rich artistic and cultural history, and various world-renowned ingredients are the roots that make Italy unforgettable.
The natural conditions of mountains and seas provide a traditional diet with meat as the main food in the north and seafood as the main food in the south, and two-thirds of the hillside terrain provides an ideal environment for the growth of grape fields. Obviously, this also makes Italy the world's number one wine producer. Of course, there is also a national symbol that Italians are very proud of-pasta, an alternative staple food. In every big city and town, the pasta, methods, ingredients and appearance with the same name but different tastes change with different township dialects.
Italians regard the restaurant or kitchen at home as an important place, and everyone sits around the dining table with the habit of growing up. ...
Food plays an irreplaceable role, and as a chef's mother or grandparents, under the traditional dishes they cook, they are the details of food linked from the memories handed down from generation to generation. Italians who respect tradition, keep the taste of ancient history, spare no effort, are full of imagination and love change, and China people who are hardworking, intelligent and creative are really very similar in their persistence and love for food.
In June this year, 165438+ 10, the general meeting of Zhejiang Tourism Vocational College and Alma College of Italy will be held in Hangzhou. At that time, in addition to the signing ceremony of the two universities, the event will also invite guests from China and Italy, scholars and other guests to attend the forum and Italian high-standard dinner.
ALMA College Italy (ALMA means "vitality" in Latin) is the most authoritative international college of Italian cuisine in Italy today. The college hopes to carry forward the traditional Italian cooking, combine healthier modern practices, emphasize verification from practice, and turn passion into professionalism!
The college is located in Colorno, a suburb of Palma, the capital of Italian cuisine. It is taught in strict accordance with the small class of 20 people, 8 hours a day. In addition to regular teachers and special guests from outside the school, international courses also include cooking and modern baking courses. ALMA has dozens of cooperative universities around the world. Every day, young students of different nationalities can be seen shuttling through the food hall. They will eventually become the most professional chefs, bakers and tasters. ...
In order to further deepen the cooperation between the two universities, after the alliance, a China cooking training course will be set up in Italy to provide training and guidance for local China restaurants in Italy, and the relevant certification will be jointly issued by Zhejiang Cuisine Association and Zhejiang Tourism College. At the same time, the Cuisine Department of Zhejiang Tourism College will also offer an Italian cooking course to teach basic Italian cooking, food culture and Italian. With the basic knowledge of Italian cooking, students will have the opportunity to go to Italy for further study.
With the signing of the "Belt and Road" cooperation agreement between China and Italy in March this year, the diversified cooperation process and exchanges between the two countries have also promoted the openness and harmony of world civilization. The alliance between the two universities aims at the in-depth exchange and far-reaching cooperation between Chinese and Italian cooking and food cultures under the vision of the "New Silk Road of Cuisine".

◎ Xu Hui (Associate Professor, Zhejiang Tourism Vocational College)
Geraci, Vice Minister of Economic Development of Italy, said that the cooperation between China and Italy in agriculture, food, green and digital economy has broad prospects and strong industrial complementarities. Wang Yi, State Councilor and Foreign Minister, once said that the economies of China and Italy are highly complementary, and deepening mutually beneficial cooperation in the fields of manufacturing, agriculture and innovation will surely bring tangible benefits to the industrial and commercial circles and people of the two countries. China is willing to encourage powerful Chinese enterprises to invest in Italy, believing that Italy will provide a fair and transparent business environment for China enterprises.
Historical civilization and human wisdom always run through the exchanges between China and Italy, which makes the relationship between these two ancient civilizations of the world unparalleled.
The ancient Silk Road has left a deep impression on human history, and the "Belt and Road Initiative" will also create a new prosperity for Sino-Italian cooperation. Will there be more modern Kyle in the future? Polo shuttled back and forth between these two ancient but vibrant countries. Zhejiang Tourism Vocational College and Alma College in Italy will firmly grasp the responsibility of two-way communication, inherit the immortal fire and light up the new Silk Road for gourmet food.
