3° Meeting – Turkey – Settembre 2104


From May to August: We made 8 meeting with inn-mates of Porto Azzurro.

We have also to work with their educators to decide how to continue our project.

The difficult was: where can we cook our recipes with the inmates???


1st meeting: 30 May 2014Meeting with the educational team of "Taste Of

Freedom" for the development of the programme concerning the future activity that will take place in the Prison, regarding the possibility of the use of the

Jail's kitchen; we were told that it will be difficult the use of it. So, the idea is that the Inn-mate

should cook in their cell and bring the food to the school-room where it will be tasted by all of us.


2nd meeting: 9 June 2014A number of association were

invited to a Conference, to see the works, and programms done by

the various associations. The works done by the prisoner where in display some very interesting , like the "Suit-case of Napoleon”. We also had the possibility to try bread and cakes made in the new bakery of the Prison and to talk about the programme " Taste of

freedom."


3rd meeting: 12 June 2014Meeting with the Prisoner,

tasting some local Pastry, that we brought to them,

discussing the origin of the old recipe, we had a good time

the Inn-mate are quite happy and interested, on our next

meeting of the 26 of june they will bring some Pastry of their place of origin, made by them

in their Cell.


4th meeting: 26 June 2014 After the tasting of the Pastry made by the

Prisoner, we asked theme to write the menù for the 17 of July. We will have to make the list of the

ingredients necessary for the Menù. With the help of the Educational Team we will bring in the

ingredient for the event that will be taking place at our next meeting in the class-room.


5th meeting: 3 July 2014

The menù for the 17 of july is ready; we will split the prisoner in 3 Groups. Each group will

prepared some dishes; so that at the end we will have 3 different Menùs, it will be very interesting

to see how they will manage to cook so many difficult dishes with very little cooking

equipment.

Is really fantastic what they have manage to prepare, in their cell ,in a very difficult situation, here are the

decoration for the table.They prepare Neapolitan Bread (made

with animal fat) olive, anchovies, etc (for the muslims prisoners a special version of bread was made without animal fat).

di dama


Menù n° 2: Lasagne alla Bolognese, Lamb albanian style with

vegetables, Cannoli Siciliani


Menù n°3: Insalata di tonnina salad with Pachino tomatoes, Onion,

Aromatic bread, Strawberry’s cake with cream


7° meeting: 7 August 2014 We had a very important meeting with the

prisoners discussing their meals, the problem of not having a common place

where to eat, most of the time when they get the food is cold and overcooked (Pasta)

We also discussed the last idea for Logo "Taste of freedom"


8th meeting: 14 August 2014

The new " Logo" is ready it was given to us. It is the work of a group of them.

We asked the inn-mate to write a new menu for our next visit, once we have the menù we will decide the date for the next event. There is a lot of expectation for the

next gastronomic experience.I am sure it will be as good as the first

one.In the Autumn we hope to make a “true” lunch with the inn-mate at “Enoteca delle

Fortezze”, in Portoferraio.
