“Certain flavors seem to be a viaticum towards love, predisposing the body and mind to pleasure” cf. Brillat Savarin
The thoughts of the chefs of Il Moro inside the Valentine’s Day Menu
Desire finds the perfect expression in food, while the most desired aspect of our life is happiness, or the sense of joy and fulfillment of an experience.
Desiring produces the pleasant search for happiness, food is desired, dreamed of, lived, food offers us memory and surprise, enjoyment and nourishment.
Food becomes a game, with the hands and with the head, food involves our senses instantly and simultaneously, yes the oral phase involves two senses and therefore becomes almost predominant, but I want to eat with my eyes and nose, I want to touch and feel, I can say that the act of eating is the oldest form of multitasking.
The emotionality of food makes you experience the attainability of your desire, living them gives the enormous advantage of making room for new emotions and desires.
Intriguing food, which teases the senses stimulates them, the food of I don’t see but I feel, the strongest of emotions, the food of discovery and discovery, food that strips itself of its primordial function of satisfying the hungry stimulus and is placed in the emotional sphere, intense and intriguing.
The food that makes us fall in love, because it changes in small, varied and continuous tastings, changes clothes, undresses and dresses, sober, bright colors that intrigue, shapes and definitions, variegated grafts of textures, scents and smells, sounds that invest the ear, soft and long, crunchy and immediate textures, which is why with eating we make love.
Precisely because the theme is love, and food is connected to pleasure, food and love are two sides of the same coin.
Love is celebrated every day of the year, and in preparing the menu I take from nature those elements that can stimulate erotic fantasies, some choices fall on foods that refer to the sense of mystery, spices, herbs, flowers, exotic fruits, others are rarer and scarcer, therefore of greater value.
I am also thinking of those ingredients that promote blood circulation, so as to guarantee all the necessary blood flow from the brain, for example chili peppers, oysters, almonds, bananas, basil, rice, wheat.
At Il Giardino profumato, if you really want to smell the scent of basil you have to warm it with the warmth of your hands, even amber if you want to smell it intensely must be warmed and manipulated, it is also true that in living for love it is recommended to fill yourself with caresses and kisses.
Sight, smell always anticipate the taste of eating as well as that of living.
