Cooking Class at Sunset in the Jewish Ghetto

Take your authentic Roman-style pasta cooking class in the Jewish district of Rome as seen in the Stanley Tucci‘s show. Take a break from visiting the city by meeting local people and learning how to make a typical Roman dinner menu from scratch. Meet your host in Piazza Mattei, a fascinating square in the heart of Rome’s former Jewish Ghetto.

The area offers breathtaking views of the stratification of Rome over centuries and a number of shops as well as very good restaurants selling 3ewish- Roman food. Enjoy the easygoing lifestyle the Ghetto is so famous for! Access the restaurant where the class takes place and meet your Chef who will be ready to share his recipes with you and reveal his tricks.

This is a hands-on class, but being a simple spectator is also an option: you can relax, watch the chef at work, while you sip a glass of wine. You will learn how to make homemade pasta from scratch, cleaning and preparing seasonal vege- tables to fry, and taste desserts that Roman grandmothers used to cook for their kids.

Seasonal food is a must in Rome. In a winter class, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how to peel artichokes and cook them in the Jewish style, one of the highlights of Roman cuisine (carciofi a la giudia). In a typical summer class, you‘ll learn how to prepare zucchini flowers or other amazingly fresh vegetables that are in season during warmer months to make the original fritto romano”.

For dessert, taste the amazing torta di ricotta e visciola, a famous ricotta cheesecake made with simple and delicious ingredi- ents (visciola is a sour cherry).

Book your pasta cooking class if you are looking for an authentic and entertaining experi- ence in the Jewish district! Do not expect an academic class, though, just some time together with local people having fun as you prepare your own dishes!
