Carnevale is a celebration of life, an opportunity to indulge in food, fun, and festivities before the austerity of Lent<\/a>. Across Italy, cities burst into life with parades, masquerade balls, and entertainment. Venice, with its iconic masked balls and ornate costumes, is perhaps the most famous. However, the joy of Carnevale is not confined to Venice alone. From the confetti-filled streets of Viareggio to the historical reenactments in Ivrea, each region adds its unique flavor to the celebration.<\/p>\n
While not as widely known as Venice or Viareggio, Parma<\/a>‘s Carnevale offers a more intimate yet equally enchanting experience. The city, rich in cultural heritage, comes alive with local festivities, traditional music, and, of course, its world-renowned cuisine<\/a>. And we are lucky to have friends in Parma<\/a> who are more than happy to share a bit of tradition with us.<\/p>\n
In celebration of Carnevale, Chef Ilaria Bertinelli<\/a>, Chef & guide during our Let\u2019s Eat Parma culinary holiday has shared with us a delightful recipe for gluten-free crema fritta, a traditional Carnevale treat. This creamy, fried custard is a testament to the culinary richness of Italy. Find the recipe here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
