The theme of this year's IV Week of Italian Cuisine in the World is the Mediterranean diet and food education. Tonight (Thursday 21 November) at Sydney's Italian Cultural Institute, Professor Luigi Fontana will address these issues in a conference entitled "The Mediterranean diet: where taste goes hand in hand with health".
