Chef Federico Pucci Shared his Experience with Students
As the Head Chef, Federico Pucci oversees Don Alfonso 1890 and all the dining experiences across the Palazzo Versace Macau hotel tower. Originally from Prato in Tuscany, Chef Federico takes great pride in Italian cuisine and cooking is at the center of his universe. Throughout his 16-year career in gastronomy, Chef Federico traveled across Italy’s vast landscape to learn how to create diverse dishes from virtually every corner of the country. From the north to south of Italy, he worked for Michelin-starred restaurants where he learned how to create innovative dishes as culinary works of art and treat the ingredients of this sun-kissed land with true respect.
Signature Dish: Strascinati di nonno Ernesto
During the sharing session, Chef Federico Pucci demonstrated his signature dish, Strascinati di nonno Ernesto. The Culinary Demonstration Workshop enriched the students’ knowledge and experiences and enhanced their professional skills in Western cuisine, which will certainly be a great treasure in their future careers.
