Corporate Bits | Bene announces menu to commemorate national day of Italy

In celebration of Festa Della Repubblica – the National Day of Italy – Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel, Cotai Central’s Italian trattoria, Bene, is offering “Celebrating Italy” specials throughout June.

Executive Sous Chef Luca Pecorari has crafted a four-course set dinner for guests to savor some of his authentic recipes and specialty dishes, Sheraton Grand announced in a statement.

The menu consists of yellow fin tuna carpaccio with green olives, red onion, lemon relish and garlic bread crumble; home-made tagliatelle with porcini and black truffle cream sauce; pan-seared Japanese scallops with glazed asparagus, prosciutto and truffle caviar as well as the finishing touch: a molten lemon cake with gelato.

For fans of Bene’s signature dishes, Chef Luca has also designed a three-course set menu that features some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes. Guests can enjoy the eggplant gratin with buffalo mozzarella, smoked scamorza cheese and crisp basil; spaghetti carbonara Bene-style, tossed in a castelmagno cheese wheel; and the classic Italian tiramisu.

Jaguar land rover to move discovery production to Slovakia

Jaguar Land Rover is shifting all production of its Discovery model to Slovakia amid falling diesel sales, vehicle taxes and uncertainty about Britain’s departure from the European Union.

The company says the decision, which is likely to affect hundreds of jobs, “is a tough one but forms part of our long-term manufacturing strategy as we transform our business globally.”

Discovery production in Birmingham will move to Slovakia early next year.

Jaguar also said it will invest millions in Solihull in the west Midlands, where the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models will be built.

Profits have been under pressure, with pre-tax profit slumping to 364 million pounds (USD487 million) in the three months to March 31, from 676 million pounds in the same period last year.
