Inspired by the passion of learning to create exquisite
Italian cuisines, students around the country were given
the opportunity to
apply for $50,000 in scholarship funds by The Italian
Trade Commission to study at New York City’s Italian
Culinary Academy.
The Six very lucky students who demonstrated an earnest
commitment to studying Italian cooking, and a strong
interest in Italy’s
culinary heritage were awarded a scholarship of $8, 300
at a delicious Italian-inspired reception of hot hors
d’oeuvres, Italian
wine and prosecco prepared by students of ICA’s 29-week
“Italian Culinary Experience” program. The ICA, located
in New
York City, is the sister school to the world-renown
French Culinary Institute, and offers the country’s most
comprehensive education
in authentic Italian cuisine.
“One of the goals of The Italian Trade Commission is to
forge connections between up and coming chefs and real
Italian ingredients,”
said Italian Trade Commissioner Aniello Musella. “We
know that through exposure to these authentic
ingredients, these
young chefs will believe, as we do, that great Italian
cooking relies heavily on the use of authentic Italian
ingredients.”
“We are thrilled to have the support of The Italian
Trade Commission,” said Chef Cesare Casella, Dean of the
ICA. “They are
dedicated to bringing only the best, most authentic
Italian food products to the united States. Likewise, we
are committed to
offering the country’s best education in authentic
Italian cuisine. This is a wonderful partnership and we
are very honored to
