Bangkok--6 Jul--Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit
Acknowledged as the master of ‘New Italian Style’ cuisine, Michelin-starred Chef Alfredo Russo’s visits to Rossini’s are always a highlight of Bangkok’s dining calendar. Discerning diners will be delighted to hear that the culinary genius returns to Rossini’s from July 29th to August 7th, 2011.
Chef Alfredo is currently overseeing the next culinary evolution of Rossini’s and has introduced his signature dishes to the menu, and created special a la carte and tasting menus. Rossini’s is also the only restaurant in Bangkok with a cellar of exceptional wines by Chef Alfredo, each produced to complement his extraordinary cuisine. The outstanding selection includes notable wines such as Capacchione, a rich and intense wine produced using old wine Barbera grapes, and Fuskia, an expressive and well structured Merlot perfect for Chef Alfredo’s cuisine.
When he returns at the end of July he will host a special wine dinner and introduce the divine menus for evening diners. The fresh and exciting new menus include an appetizer of polenta with chanterelles — porcini ragout and Parmesan cheese fondue and sweet Gorgonzola cheese with beetroot emulsion. Lovers of seafood can also savor creamed potato with scallop carpaccio, Sicilian capers, herbs and aromatic oil, scrambled eggs with sea urchin served in the shell, and other refined dishes. Other delicacies include Wagyu beef with pickled vegetables and herbs ‘demi-sec style’, and the heavenly dessert, compression of rum pineapple, coconut and coffee croquant, or whipped tiramisu.
A native of Turin, Chef Alfredo discovered his gift for cooking at the tender age of 13. After studying at catering school, he worked in three different Michelin-starred restaurants in Piedmont. In the late 1990s, he opened Il Dolce Stil Novo and just three years later won a coveted Michelin star and membership into the Jeunes Restaurateurs d’Europe Association. Chef Alfredo was also named best Young Chef of the Year in 2004. Other honors have included an invitation to organize a gala dinner for the visiting International Olympic Committee in Turin, and to serve his distinctive Piedmont cuisine to UN ambassadors and delegates.
His prestigious restaurant, Il Dolce Stil Novo, is regarded as one of the finest dining experiences in Italy. The elegant restaurant is located in the Royal Palace of Venaria where Chef Alfredo invites diners on a memorable culinary journey infused with the rich history of the beautiful palace.
A highlight of Chef Alfredo’s return will be on Friday July 29th when he invites diners to an exquisite wine dinner of inspired Michelin star dining paired with exceptional wines from the Montepeloso Winery. Elevating Italian cuisine to new levels of skill, creativity and refinement, Chef Alfredo’s 5-course wine dinner menu will include intriguing lightly marinated and lightly smoked salmon with chive ice cream, and polenta with chanterelles and porcini ragout, cream and Parmesan cheese fondue. Other highlights of the Michelin star dining experience include rice, mint and red wine, and the dessert, whipped tiramisu.
