Vitello Tonnato: A Dish That Never Left My Heart
There are recipes you study at school, recipes you prepare for guests, and then there are recipes that stay with you forever. For me, Vitello Tonnato belongs to that last category. I first encountered it more than 25 years ago, as a young student in Stresa, a town on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy. At the time, I didn’t realize how much this dish would follow me — across countries, kitchens, and the different stages of my career. Yet every time I prepare it, I feel a connection to that first experience.

While sushi is iconic, it represents only a small fraction of what Japanese cuisine—known as washoku—has to offer. In fact, Japanese food was recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, celebrated for its seasonal sensitivity, variety, and emphasis on harmony. But beyond its artistry, Japanese cuisine is also deeply linked to health and longevity, setting it apart from many other food cultures around the world.
