Ice Cream in the Restaurant Industry
Free
About this course
The first course on ice cream in the restaurant industry in collaboration with Carpigiani Gelato University, designed for those who want to add gelato to their menu from appetizer to dessert.
Ice cream began as the star of Renaissance tables: today it returns to them thanks to the creativity of chefs and pastry chefs. Today, artisanal ice cream is a growing trend that shows no signs of slowing down. It is the catering sector with the widest marginality, and consumption by Italians and foreigners is increasing, all over the world, and in every season. So more and more new artisan ice cream parlors are opening: quality is a necessary goal-increasingly recognised by customers. Today, ice cream is a business, but you have to know how to do it well and meet the changing demand of the market.
Whether you’re a young ice cream enthusiast, a chef or a pastry chef, Food Genius Academy is launching the first Course on Ice Cream in Catering in collaboration with Carpigiani, a manufacturer of professional ice cream making machines and promoter of the prestigious Gelato University in Anzola dell’Emilia.
In the workshops at the Milan headquarters of Food Genius Academy you will learn how to make ice cream in the artisanal way (for real) without ready-made bases and preps, how to make classic and creative flavours, how to manage the laboratory and your proposal for your need and your business idea. You will learn how to use Carpigiani’s signature tools of the trade, and as teachers you will have master gelato makers and trainers from Gelato University and Food Genius Academy, such as Luca Cappelletti, the Course’s educational director.
Theoretical and practical lessons, all in-person and for a limited number of students at the Milan headquarters of Food Genius Academy. Enrol now in Food Genius Academy’s Gelato Making Course in collaboration with Carpigiani Gelato University!
