Brisbane’s in for a treat this month Settimo founder and leading Australian Chef Guy Grossi in town for two unmissable events.
Tonight Guy teams up with Settimo’s new Chef de Cuisine, David Ruggiero, as the two Chefs pay homage to the vibrant culinary history of Puglia, the home region of Guy’s Papa.
Italian-born David joined Settimo on October 1, bringing with him decades of global experience, including stints at London's iconic Baglioni Hotel and Rome's Sheraton Golf Hotel. David's deep love for his home country's authentic flavours, his passion for fresh and seasonal produce and his culinary creativity perfectly complement Settimo's exquisite Amalfi Coast-inspired cuisine.
From the thoughtfully curated menu to the expertly matched Puglian wines, tonight is a celebration of rustic charm, bold flavours and the warmth of Italian hospitality.
Guy will guide dinners through an indulgent feast, starting with the region’s iconic focaccia barese and velvety fava bean purée, on to cozze gratinate, succulent polipo e patate, panzerotti stuffed with tomato and mozzarella, cavatelli paired with fresh frutti di mare, U' cutturidd lamb stew and pepperoni imbottiti before the sweet finale, pasticcioto leccese.
Then on Saturday, take advantage of the chance to take a Pasta Masterclass with Guy:
Discover the secrets of creating perfect pasta at an exclusive masterclass led by Guy and David on Saturday, October 19. Savour a refreshing Spritz as the leading Chefs reveal how to select authentic ingredients then dive into the rich, heartfelt traditions of preparing this quintessential Italian cuisine.
The afternoon event concludes with a delightful lunch where diners can indulge in the dishes prepared during the masterclass, paired with Italian wine.
To celebrate Pasta Week at AGFG, Guy shares his classic recipe for tonnarelli carbonara with AGFG home cooks; take the challenge and make your own pasta at home to enjoy with family and friends, it’s well worth the effort!
