Adler Bonavera – Chef Patronne and Sommelier
Orvietana by adoption; fundamental aspect of her philosophy is a twenty-year research to discover the cooking tradition of the Orvieto area. Always investigating between the Orvieto historic archive and many farms, Adler exchanges and increases her knowledge with many women of our healthy food tradition.
“I always look for our grandmothers’ recipes, so I can try to track back their origins. I feed the historic memory of the details and their following modifications in different ages. I tell pieces of history about this land, letting people experience the food emotions as faithfully as possible. I believe the past is incredibly full of emotions that we have never experienced and is only waiting to be discovered and not reinterpreted”.
