Executive Chef Andrew Richardson, whose Michelin-starred skills have ignited the wood-burning forno at CinCin for the past six months, has been busy meeting with his suppliers – and together they have staked a claim to the finest native examples of mushrooms that best demonstrate the flavours of the forest. Guests will be treated to distinctive varieties including spicy and aromatic matsutakes, golden and bluefoot chanterelles, as well as lobster, trumpet, oyster and cauliflower mushrooms. A number of specialty dishes will be featured on chef’s primi menu, including a standout wild mushroom risotto.
Equally exciting has been chef Richardson’s quest for paramount quality truffles. “We buy only the best varieties, hand-selected from experts we trust,” says Richardson. Each dish has been designed specially for the festival, in order to pair perfectly with the striking flavour of fresh truffles. Other feature dishes will include Beef Carpaccio with maionese al tartufo topped with shaved boschetta, Ricotta Gnocchi, Tagiolini, and chef Richardson’s signature Ricotta Ravioli.

AWESOME THING WE ATE #854: Christophe Bonzon’s “Fabbrica” Tiramisu At CinCin
November 3, 2011
Celebrity chef Mark McEwan was in town a couple of nights ago promoting his new book, Fabbrica, so Barbara-Jo McIntosh’s Books To Cooks arranged for CinCin chef Todd Howard to prepare several dishes from its pages. You can read the menu full here, complete with all-Italian wine pairings. Howard’s cooking was really top drawer (particularly the steelhead with clams and sausage), but I still can’t stop thinking about the deconstructed tiramisu by pastry chef Christophe Bonzon. I will never look at the ubiquitous dessert the same way again. A few more shots from the meal below…
