It’s not like Casa Marcos or Casa Roces or other Casa-restos. When I was advised of the launch of Casa Artusi Philippines, I thought Margarita was just opening another Italian restaurant. This will be Fores’ first venture into the academe as both co-founder of the institution and hands on culinary professor. It will be at White Space on Pasong Tamo Extension. Next year, Fores and Casa Artusi, a renowned culinary institution in Forlimpopoli, Italy, will open the first ever offshore campus of Casa Artusi right here in Manila. And by fine I don’t mean haute: I mean traditionally perfected. I guess with all the successes she has achieved, she is at that point where she desires to pass on her knowledge and love for fine cooking. At 53, 15 years and nine Cibos since she opened her first Cibo in Glorietta, she is still at the top of her game as the Italian culinary ambassador this side of the world. Since then I have have tried to keep a sense of appreciation for things both grand and mundane from the mystery of how soup is placed in each piece of xiao long bao to the treble in the voice of the taho vendor as he sings “tahoooo!” every morning.Īnother lady I admire who has maintained her sense of awe-as both appreciator and the appreciated-is Margarita Fores. So my then-boss at GMA Network Inc, Joel Jimenez, wrote me a note I will never forget: “Never lose your sense of awe.” I was an eager 20-year-old young woman learning the ropes as a lifestyle segment producer, but even sooner getting jaded and bored.
