He and his colleague Mark Melling- Founder and Creative Director at Great Escapations, visited Oristano in Sardinia and stayed at our property the Is Benas Country Lodge, below he details his culinary experience at the lodge:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;If you\u2019ve been on a Sardatur holiday before, you\u2019ll probably know already how important a role food plays in Sardinia and throughout Italy. But I wonder if you will have experienced gastronomy quite like what is served up at Is Benas Country Lodge in Oristano, the wild and still relatively unspoiled province on Sardinia\u2019s central west coast.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>food at is benas<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Food is the beating heart of Is Benas. I think it\u2019s fair to say that the Lodge punches way above its culinary weight, the dishes coming out of the kitchen every evening a constant surprise and delight, surpassing the quality of many so-called gourmet restaurants and 5* hotels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Eat in the candle-lit <strong>Carduus Restaurant<\/strong>, al fresco on warm nights either on the veranda or, for an even more romantic occasion, on the new raised terrazzo &#8211; or in the intimate dining room inside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The 5-course tasting menu you will enjoy every evening is an adventurous gastronomic journey. Sardo Chef Nico and his brigade use only local ingredients to create food that, whilst rooted in Sardinian traditions, is a thrilling innovative reinterpretation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Let\u2019s hear from Nico himself about his own experiences and philosophy:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Sono un ragazzo di Oristano, quindi della provincia. Dopo una serie di viaggi all\u2019estero come dicevo, vengo da Oristano, quindi sono un ragazzo della zona. Dopo anni di esperienze passate in giro per l\u2019Italia e l\u2019Europa siamo tornati a casa. Siamo un team di ragazzi giovani dove proviamo a reinterpretare la tradizione sarda. Proviamo perch\u00e9 la tradizione la reputiamo molto seria quindi \u00e8 anche brutto mancarle di rispetto. Cerchiamo appunto di studiarla e portarla avanti e cercare di crearne una nostra.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;I am a boy from Oristano, from the province. After a series of trips abroad &#8230; as I said, I come from Oristano, so I&#8217;m a local guy. After years of experience spent around Italy and Europe we came back home. We are a young team and we try to <strong>reinterpret the Sardinian tradition<\/strong>. We try because tradition is very serious, so it&#8217;s bad to miss it. We try to study it and carry it forward and try to create one of our own.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sardatur-holidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IsBenasCountryLodge-Oristano-Sardinia-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"916\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sardatur-holidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IsBenasCountryLodge-Oristano-Sardinia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sardatur-holidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IsBenasCountryLodge-Oristano-Sardinia-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sardatur-holidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IsBenasCountryLodge-Oristano-Sardinia-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sardatur-holidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IsBenasCountryLodge-Oristano-Sardinia.jpg 1379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 916px) 100vw, 916px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Ho avuto l\u2019onore di conoscere chef abbastanza famosi e importanti a livello mondiale. Non c\u2019\u00e8 uno in particolare che mi ha dato un\u2019impronta culinaria ma un\u2019impronta organizzativa. Da ogni posto in cui vai, ogni posto che visiti hai sempre qualcosa di nuovo da imparare. Questa \u00e8 la base per questo lavoro: la condivisione. Quindi la condivisione di conoscenze porta alla crescita.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I had the honour of knowing chefs quite famous and important on a global scale. There is not one in particular that has given me a culinary impression but an organizational impression. From wherever you go, every place you visit has something new to learn. This is the basis for this work: sharing. So knowledge sharing leads to growth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Noi la definiamo la cucina sarda-contemporanea. Ripeto, non \u00e8 del tutto tradizionale, ma partiamo da ricette tradizionali quindi prendiamo spunto dal nostro territorio che pu\u00f2 essere un ingrediente, un colore, una forma, un fiore, qualsiasi cosa che sia appartenente al territorio e proviamo a rielaborarla creando qualcosa di nuovo e di diverso.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">We call it Sardinian-contemporary cuisine. Again, it&#8217;s not entirely traditional, but we start from traditional recipes, so let&#8217;s start from our territory that can be an ingredient, a colour, a form, a flower, anything that belongs to the territory and we try to rework it by creating something new and different.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> Cerchiamo solo di utilizzare solo prodotti locali delle piccole imprese in modo tale da valorizzare appunto i piccoli imprenditori, piccoli artigiani che comunque hanno bisogno di sostegno da parte di noi professionisti. Un sostegno che va dato sia per etica sia perch\u00e9 comunque ti danno un prodotto sempre al top e noi dobbiamo lavorare per loro. Noi lavoriamo per gli artigiani e il nostro dovere \u00e8 valorizzare ci\u00f2 che fanno.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">We only try to use only local products of small businesses in order to value small entrepreneurs, small craftsmen who still need support from our professionals. A support that is given both by ethics and because they always give you a product at the top and we have to work for them. We work for artisans and our duty is to value what they do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>La nostra filosofia di cucina \u00e8 molto semplice. \u00c8 una cucina che ha molte influenze da tutte le nostre esperienze. Quindi potrebbe essere una tecnica che arriva dalla Spagna, dal Nord Europa, dal Nord e Sud Italia. Sono tecniche che cerchiamo di accumunare alla nostra terra per dare un qualcosa di diverso. Non siamo cos\u00ec presuntuosi da voler dire di creare un qualcosa di nuovo.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Our philosophy of cooking is very simple. It&#8217;s a kitchen that has many influences from all of our experiences. So it could be a technique coming from Spain, North Europe, North and South Italy. These are techniques that we try to accumulate to our land to give something different. We are not so presumptuous as to create something new.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>\u00c8 una cucina pulita. Una cucina, come dicevo, legata tanto al territorio per\u00f2 cerchiamo di scomporla alleggerendola dando gusti pi\u00f9 puliti, coprendo meno con le salse per\u00f2 utilizzando le stesse per dare una spinta in pi\u00f9 al piatto e non coprendo l\u2019ingrediente. Cerchiamo le consistenze giuste, cerchiamo l\u2019appeal del cibo: un cibo che sia appetibile. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>\u201c<\/em>It&#8217;s a clean cuisine. A cuisine, as I said, is so much tied to the area, but we try to break it down, lightening it with cleaner tastes, covering less with the sauces but using the same to give a boost to the dish and not covering the ingredient. We look for the right consistency, we seek the appeal of food: a food that is appetizing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>What comes out of Nico\u2019s kitchen at Is Benas is passion on every plate, based on his principles and philosophy.
