Rome is home to one one of Europe's oldest and most delicious Jewish cuisines. Shaped by centuries of hardship and a tightly bound community that stands 16,000 strong today, the Roman Jewish kitchen is defined by its simple-but-elegant approach to vegetables, its love of frying foods in olive oil, its saucy braised meats, and its beguiling desserts. Join Leah Koenig, author of PORTICO: Cooking and Feasting in Rome's Jewish Kitchen (W.W. Norton, 2023) she demonstrates two recipes from the book: Spaghetti with Tuna and Tomato (spaghetti tonno e pomodoro) and Sauteed Dandelion Greens (Cicoria Ripassata). Participants will have the opportunity to sample Roman Jewish dishes, and books will be available for sale and and signing after the event.
