You will take away the artisanal experience and the understanding of health and preservation of two elements -paper and food – far from one other but with several points of contact.
The fascinating worlds of paper and food, with their smells and textures, encounter in this course, as part of the same culture and history. Paper and food need the same minerals to be safe, healthy and to be preserved.
Many of the ingredients usually used to restore the damaged paper, will be used to cook delicious recipes (saffron, coffee, tea, sodium carbonate, “fish glue”-gelatin, eggs).

RECIPES OF PAPER
This combined course of Paper Restoration and Cooking is done in collaboration with Atelier Deltos.
Atelier Deltos and Gigliocooking are on the same street, at a few footsteps away from one other.
Recipes are written on paper. But, did you know that paper is eventually made by potential foods? Did you know that many of the components to make paper are edible?
So much that we could just call them “ingredients”. So, ingredients to make paper recipes are ingredients to make food recipes.
There are recipes (recipe means formula) for paper and they start with the same ingredients of edible dishes.
This short course is about the similar chemistry of paper and food and about the historical evolution on producing both of them.
You will restore an ancient book and you will cook ancient recipes. You will be able to restore paper, will be introduced to techniques of restoring, will follow step by step all the gradual improving of it to the final result.
Then you will learn cooking techniques of old recipes, and taste them around a table. Both courses are hands on.
