A journey in taste from the North to the South of Italy to discover refined Christmas recipes: Churchill 1795, a British company specializing in the production of tableware for the catering industry, is celebrating the upcoming holidays with the “Natale al piatto” project, which involves five Italian restaurants, La Filetteria Italiana, Osteria dell’Orologio, Pescheria, Villa Costanza and Merula, called upon to offer, throughout the month of December, an unreleased Christmas dish inspired by the British tableware company’s novelties and bestsellers.
After Lombardy and the dish signed by La Filetteria Italiana, the journey continues to Lazio, where chef Marco Claroni of Osteria dell’Orologio in Fiumicino offers the recipe “Marinated swordfish with pomegranate, turnips, red fruits and buffalo milk.”
Claroni’s cuisine focuses on quality and seasonality: fundamental is the respect for products and the natural fishing cycle. His cuisine linked to the territory and Italian culinary culture, has an eye to the sea and is open to distant gastronomic experimentation and contamination. For this, the chef chose the Homespun Accents Aquamarine Walled Plate, whose color is reminiscent of the sea and delicate concentric pattern enhances the ingredients.
