Alessandro is an executive member of the Council of Italian Restaurants in Australia (CIRA) and regularly takes classes at CIRA’s Annandale cooking school. “I love to embrace traditional recipes that have been handed down through the families of my region – and in particular my grandmother, who was a tremendous cook.”
Now Executive Chef at Spiedo Restaurant & Bar, Sydney, Australia Pavoni will have an opportunity to showcase these traditional recipes. Pavoni hopes everyone who comes to Spiedo will get a sense of ‘living Lombardy’, and what that means to him.
