Award-winning Italian chef
Massimo Bottura on Wednesday said he plans to open two more of
his unique soup kitchens in Turin and New York, following the
success of the Refettorio Ambrosiano project launched for Expo.
The Modena chef of 'La Francescana' fame made his
announcement after accepting a special award from the Italian
Farmers' Association (CIA), one of Italy's two main farmer
groups, at Rome's Campidoglio.
Bottura, who called the Refettorio Ambrosiano "a gift of
beauty to fragile souls", designed the soup kitchen project in
collaboration with Catholic charity Caritas.
The soup kitchens aim to reduce food waste by calling on
renowned chefs to create dishes made from leftovers.
