Create your own tasting menu: courtesy of the world famous Don Carlos restaurant in Milan,Italy

While attending EuroCucina, the International Kitchen Furniture Exhibition, in Milan, Italy, BLANCO Design Council members had the unique opportunity to dine at Don Carlos which boasts some of the best cuisine in Italy.

According to Dining City, it is one of the most exclusive restaurants in Milan and merges high level gastronomy, refined service and an incredible atmosphere. In the wine cellar, which houses about 200 labels, are the remains of an ancient Roman wall dating back to 250 AD.

Chef Mauro Moia shared with us some of his tips and secrets for creating the tasting menu he served BLANCO’s Design Council in Milan. Tasting menus consist of many small plates or courses that always leave you wanting more. It’s an exciting way to try new foods and to entertain friends. Just in time for holiday gatherings, here are just a few from the menu to try at home:

Course 1: Scallops, tomato sauce tarragon and crispy bacon

Tips: Sauté scallops; make warm, thick tomato sauce with bread, garlic and basil; add tarragon leaves boiled and mixed with oil salt and pepper.
