A vegan carbonara, without pillow and without eggs. The recipe that can make traditional purists crawl, but why does this happen? Will it not be just a communication problem, born of the misunderstanding of baptizing a dish without the "classic" ingredients with a name of tradition?
The diatribe between traditional purists and vegans will be discussed at the Food Journalism Festival entitled "Thinking vegetable or translating from the omnivore?", Which will take place on Thursday afternoon 21 February.
We will try to address the issue with a "light" and yet serious approach. Because, beyond the contrasts, which on this subject are always around the corner, giving the right name to things is the first step to promote food, be it "vegan" or traditional. So, can a carbonara without eggs really be called "carbonara"?
The debate is open and will not be closing soon, but perhaps making a little more clarity between the various positions and points of view is necessary for a first step in the communication of a kitchen, the vegan one, which is increasingly present on our tables . Whether you choose it extemporaneously or as a life choice dictated by health or ethical reasons. Distinguished chefs and food critics rush to discuss the topic with FunnyVegan's editorial director Sonia Giuliodori, who will moderate the meeting.
