Ciao, Bella Roma! 1 with Francesca $75 pp // $140 per couple
The traditional dishes of the Eternal City are simple– based on fresh, locally available ingredients. They reflect the history of a city which has been continuously inhabited for more than 2500 years. In this class, we will learn the techniques for making three iconic Roman dishes.
*Spaghetti alla Carbonara – Along with this authentic recipe and technique we’ll share some history, stories and one of the trickiest wine pairings.
*Saltimbocca alla Romana – The literal translation of this dish is “jump in your mouth”! That’s how good this is! Thin scallopini of ethically-raised veal with parma ham in a silky sauce.
*Artichokes alla Romana – seasonal vegetable prepared in the Roman style.
