This Monday, October 15th, the Week of Taste is setting its roots in Old Nice with an initiative that will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year. Indeed, for the past 10 years, the [Lu Fran Calin restaurant](https://www.lufrancalin.com) has hosted the specialized school of Château as well as a class of CM1 from the same school for a morning filled with the flavors of Nice.
They are named Daniel Silvetti, Pierre Veyrat, and Franck Viano, and they are the ones who will animate this morning between the kitchens of [Fran Calin](https://www.lufrancalin.com) and the laboratory of [Gelateria Azzurro](https://www.facebook.com/Gelateriazzurro). On the menu for these youngsters are savory and sweet Pan Bagnats, socca, pissaladière, and the making of a homemade strawberry ice cream that will surely be the highlight of their tasting. The operations begin at 8:45 am with a breakfast reception allowing the formation of two work groups; the first will head to Pierre’s laboratory, and the second will remain at the restaurant to make Niçoise specialties like pan bagnats, socca, or pissaladière. Around 10:15 am, halftime will allow the two groups to switch places, and it will be time for sharing with a lovely “mérendaé” at around 11 am.
“It’s been ten years that we’ve been working with the school in our neighborhood, and this day evolves over the years. It’s a real pleasure to introduce them to the richness of Niçoise cuisine and perhaps spark their interest in discovering this exciting profession of ours.” The initiator of this event, Daniel Silvetti, the chef of Fran Calin and a member of the Capelina d’or, will be accompanied by two of his good friends: Franck Viano, winner of the Nice edition of the show “Un dîner presque parfait,” and Pierre Veyrat, an artisan ice cream maker from father to son whose motto is “Everything homemade!”
Niçoise cuisine will thus be celebrated for these students who will work in pairs, pairing a visually impaired child with a “non-disabled” child, allowing them to exchange experiences in terms of taste, touch, and olfactory sensations.
