Chef’s Table: How Massimo Bottura’s Risotto Cacio e Pepe changed people’s lives

Netflix documentary series Chef’s Table follows various world’s chefs in their culinary journey. The first one is my favourite of the group, Italian Chef Massimo Bottura. He mobilised masses using social media when two earthquakes hit his hometown Modena in May 2012.
The quake damaged 400,000 wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano crushing them into pieces. Concerned that this would damage the producers of the world’s most sold cheese, he spread the word for people to buy the smaller pieces of cheese to save the producers. And he created a dish inspired by this – Risotto Cacio e Pepe (risotto with cheese and pepper) – which he made by creating a broth from Parmigiano Reggiano grated to water over very low heat. Thanks to his campaign, all the Parmigiano was sold and nobody lost their jobs.
