Taste Bud Time Machine:
a journey through Italy’s food
Eusebi Deli
10 October 2017
From the Romans to the modern day, guests were taken on a journey of Italian cuisine through art, trade, geography, accompanied by traditional dishes made with authentic ingredients and recipes.
Have you ever wondered how your favourite Italian recipes have developed since the time of ancient Rome to the present day? Can you imagine what ingredients and flavours the people living in the Italian peninsula cooked with and tasted throughout the ages?
Following the chronology of a series of important events throughout history, a special menu was developed to be served in parallel with the presentation in order to create a truly immersive and sensory experience. Each dish also highlighted seasonal ingredients sourced from both Scotland and Italy.
