Questa ricetta in un Fast Food del benessere sarebbe l'ideale sia se consumata al momento sia come take away, comodamente trasportabile in contenitori in PVC. E' ricca di sali minerali e vitamine  e puo' essere considerata un alimento sia plastico che energetico (grazie alla presenza di amido,fibra,vitamine,proteine e una piccola quantita' di grassi).  Secondo me potrebbe essere rivisitata con aggiunta di prodotti disponibili localmente e rispondenti alle linee guida della tipica dieta mediterranea: fagioli e mazzancolle.

FRANCESCO MAZZEI   -   EXECUTIVE CHEF
From early childhood, Francesco could always be found in the kitchen cooking with his mother, making their own olive oil, tomato sauce, salami and bread. With the determination to buy his first Levis jeans with his own money, he started working in his uncle’s Gelateria in Calabria at the age of nine, learning to make ice cream and cakes. At 14 he met renowned Italian chef Angelo Sabetta who recognised his talent and encouraged him to pursue his dream of becoming a chef. After catering college and opening his first restaurant before going into military service, Francesco moved to Rome in 1992, where he worked a short stint at the Jolie Hotel before joining The Grand Hotel et de Roma. He moved to London in 1996 to learn English and worked at several restaurants before starting to work at his dream hotel The Dorchester. A move back to Rome offered a position at the Michelin starred restaurant Eden Terrazza on the top floor of the Eden Hotel overlooking Rome. In 2002 Francesco was approached by the Santini family to open ‘Santini’ restaurants in both Edinburgh and Milan. Moving back to London Francesco worked with Alan Yau as Head Chef at Yau’s Italian restaurant in Marylebone, Anda; he also worked with the pastry sections of both Hakkasan and Yauatcha and then moved to Bangkok to launch an Italian restaurant at the Royal Sporting Club. In September 2005 Francesco opened Franco’s on Jermyn Street for the Hambro family to acclaimed reviews. Francesco then moved on to open the kitchen of renowned restaurateurs Chris Corbin and Jeremy King’s latest London venture, St Alban in September 2006.

THE RISTO-WELLNESS

THE RISTO-WELLNESS

1.The choice of ingredients
The ingredients in Wellness Kitchen ® are typical of Mediterranean cuisine: fruit, vegetables, legumes, cereals, fish, nuts, spices, herbs, extra virgin olive oil. Red meat, cheese, butter should be limited and their consumption should be well managed, but never censor them completely. Wellness Cooking Recipes ® are also enriched foods that come from other food cultures, such as those of the East, of which have now been widely demonstrated protective effects on human health, such as soy and green tea. And then the chocolate, rich in bioactive molecules ingredient can be discovered for the first and second courses and no longer relegated exclusively to the dessert.
The only foods are absolutely prohibited and non-natural, including those containing hydrogenated fats like margarine and vegetable creams. Tip: double check the labels of the products you buy.

2.The right amount
We all agree that a healthy diet is made from quality ingredients. But few stop to think that the majority of diet-related diseases than from synthetic additives or industrial processes are caused by a diet too rich in fats, simple sugars, and salt. In other words, the illusion of healthy eating only those who consume foods without preservatives but, for example, eat large amounts of cheese and sweet drinks.
Kitchen Wellness ® is attentive to the amount of nutrients and portions as shown in the Guidelines INRAN and WHO; also recommend that you deploy the foods according to the model of the New Pyramid Mediterranean.

3.The cooking methods
Vitamins, bioactive compounds, antioxidants and minerals have the power to protect us from viruses and infections, and are important to grow old with less damage. In particular, some vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and substances such as lycopene actively participate in the prevention of the aging process. But to get your fill of nutrients is critical to treat and cook food properly. For this we have deepened the latest scientific work who have studied the variation of nutrients, micronutrients and bioactive compounds depending on the methods of cooking. We shared the study with the cooks to transform research into practical suggestions to use in the kitchen. An example: the molecular action of lycopene in tomatoes is enhanced by cooking, as the heat would fragment into pieces making it the most active derivatives of lycopene itself. If, preparing the tomato sauce condiamo with the extra virgin olive oil, the absorption of lycopene and its fragments will improve.
