The visit to Italy of the "Chefs des Chefs"
Club, the association of top chefs cooking for Heads of State
from all over the world, has encompassed a trip to
Maranello.
Used to serving
prime ministers, chancellors and kings
and queens in their home countries, yesterday they "feasted with their
eyes": the dream cars from the Prancing Horse.
The chefs were curious and asked many
questions about the cars, but also about the campus of
Maranello, where they were able to visit several buildings,
such as the wind tunnel - the Galleria del Vento - and the
assembly lines at the Nuova Meccanica, but also the product
development centre and the brand new assembly lines. Here
they saw the different phases of the assembly of the new
Ferrari California, admiring the workmanship that goes into
a Ferrari, while one of the guests commented: "It's like in
a kitchen: in the end there are the best ingredients and
it's the cook's touch which makes the difference".
After the visit the guests were invited to
the Galleria Ferrari to experience first hand the tradition
of Ferrari, because just like in a kitchen it's important
not to forget one's own history.
