On October 24 and 26, I had the pleasure of participating in CookFest, the Corriere della Sera’s culinary festival, with my live drawing sessions, during two evenings introduced by Angela Frenda and Alessandra Dal Monte.

Drawing live, I translated words into images while listening to Liliana Rampello and Walter Siti reflecting on Jane Austen’s and Marcel Proust’s writings on food.

As the drawings unfolded, guests tasted dishes prepared by chef Antonia Klugmann on the first evening and chef Ugo Alciati on the second, in the historic Cavallerizze space at the Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia in Milan.
