SHANGHAI

A gathering of stars

The open kitchen of Mediterranean restaurant Calypso has been unusually crowded this week. With the theme "six hands and seven stars", the gastronomic event has seen three Michelin-starred chefs running the kitchen and preparing some of their most signature dishes from Europe. Giancarlo Perbellini from Italy, owner of an eponymous restaurant in Verona, is perhaps best-known as an "artisan cook" and has conjured up a complete menu with his eyes on the unique Italian aesthetics of the dishes.
