Friday, February 3rd at 10 a.m. and at 1 p.m
H-E-B; 9710 Katy Freeway
Houston— H-E-B will host Chef Fabio Viviani at its Bunker Hill location where he will demonstrate how to create some of his favorite Italian dishes on Friday, February 3rd at 10 a.m. and at 1 p.m.
Chef Viviani, best known as Top Chef Season 5 Fan Favorite and Season 8 All Star contestant, first began his cooking career at the age of 12 while working in his family’s bakery in Italy. After attending Italy’s Instituto Professionale per I Servizi Alberghieri in Florence, Viviani decided it was time to bring his experience in Tuscan cooking to America. Since then, he has become executive chef of several highly acclaimed Italian restaurants in California, including Café Firenze in Ventura County and Los Angeles eatery Osteria Firenze.
In addition to his success in the restaurant world, Viviani has his own cookbook, Café Firenze, Mangia e Bevi, now available in major bookstores as well two eBooks, Did I Really Make Breakfast and The Skinny Country, available on Amazon.com.
On February 3rd, customers will have the opportunity to watch the entertaining and energetic Chef Viviani as he takes a turn in the H-E-B Cooking Connection to demonstrate his Perfect Italian Meatballs and Perfect Pasta recipes. While Viviani’s cooking style embodies the art of simple Italian cooking, his food and personality are anything but basic.
All of Viviani’s dishes are prepared in Italian designed Bialetti “Taste of Italy” cookware. The line includes authentic pieces like a 5-quart Pasta Pot featuring an innovative lock-on lid with built-in strainer, eliminating the need for a colander; Risotto Pan, an everyday pan perfect for risotto and sauces; and two Grande Pans, just right for large family-style recipes. Bialetti’s “Taste of Italy” features everything needed for making classic Italian meals.
Both Viviani’s cookbook Café Firenze, Mangia e Bevi and Bialetti cookware will be available for sale during the in-store event.
