The romance of Italy comes to life at the Taj Samudra – explore authentic Italian gourmet cuisine along with a host of entertaining events from May 30th to June 10th.

Italian Cuisine is a mosaic of regional customs with recipes often being passed through the generations. Italian Chef d’Imperio joins us from Naples to present this highly famed and deeply loved cuisine in all its finest flavour.

Chef d’imperio’s cooking roots stem from his Italian mother. Currently serving as a senior lecturer at the  Università dei Sapori, in Perugia, Chef d’Imperio was inspired by the Kitchen and trained at the finest hospitality institute in Roccaraso, Aquila.

Like all renowned Chefs, Domenico believes there is nothing better than traditional home style cooking. He believes cuisine culture is passion for rare ingredients, authentic tools for preparation, and care in selection of the seasonal vegetables and meats.

Italians select ingredients very carefully, choosing only the best. That is why Italian cusine is unanimously considered one of the finest of the world. The very best of Italian food lies in deep attention to detail, yielded together by the skillful chef.
