Celebrating Mozzarella
This week at Fine Dining Lovers we kicked things off with a full report from Le Strade della Mozzarella (Mozzarella Roads), a festival dedicated to Buffalo Mozzarella from Campania DOP.
International chefs like Quique Dacosta from Spain and Jean-François Piège from Paris displayed their cooking skills on a global stage, each putting his own spin on this famed Italian cheese.
Take a look at the dishes they prepared and find out what else happened at this famous cheese festival held in Southern Italy.
A Taste of Rio
From Italy we ventured to Brazil where we took a culinary tour of Rio de Janeiro, which will host the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2014.
The city has a vibrant food scene and we explored traditional eats like tapioca, pastels, acai, churro’s, pao de queijo, bolinhos and coxinha - all of which are available at different stalls and venues throughout the city.
Rio de Janeiro is home to world-class farmer's markets, exotic Amazonian fair and die-hard chocolate lovers. This makes it a must-see city on any itinerary to Brazil. Here is a list of the best eats in Rio to help you plan your trip.
