Chef Antonio's Recipes for Revolution

A delicious, feel good story with heart, soul & a big serve of laughter.
Chef Antonio de Benedetto is on a quest, to change the world with his delicious Italian food.
His
apprentices are Mirko Piras, a young man born with Down syndrome, who dreams of becoming a great
chef ‘just like Antonio’ and Jessica Berta, an ambitious waitress who’s also set her sights on a career
among the pots and pans.
Their tiny kitchen is the beating heart of a revolutionary restaurant and
hotel like no other. Both are staffed by young men and women living with Down syndrome who come
from across Italy to train and work in hospitality, so they can take their place at the table of life.
Chef
Antonio’s Recipes for Revolution, is their closely observed story, told in first person by Antonio, Mirko
and Jessica. It’s a journey through their lives and loves, dreams and dramas.
