The designer collective Arabeschi di Latte are presenting their Gnocchi Bar that they installed at Designersblock. It is a tiny temporary cooking studio, a corner where people could learn how to prepare gnocchi - a traditional home made potatoes pasta, easy to do and fast to cook. It was a great pleasure to watch the Italian group enthusiastically trying to culinary convert the Brits away from their microwave food culture to rediscover the pleasure of making and using old traditional tools. And it seemed they successfully managed to make people step away from their "couch potato life style", possibly for good? What a great project - bon appetito!
