Roma in the Lazio Region
Lobo Castle's Winter Cooking Class Series we will be exploring four wonderful regions of Italian Cuisine. Parma in the Emilia Romagna region, Venezia in the Veneto region, Roma in the Lazio region and Villa San Giovanni in the Calabria region. In the middle of this series I have put into the mix a Saturday class on stuffed dough dishes from around the world, plan to get your hands in the flour. All classes are 3 1/2 to 4 hours. In the Italian series we will be serving wine from the region of Italy we are exploring.
The typical Roman food has its roots in the past and reflects the old traditions in most of its offerings. It is based on fresh vegetables, not expensive cuts of meats, and cooking with herbs and hot chilli pepper. It also consists of deep fried, tasty appetizers and sharp "pecorino cheese" (made from sheep's milk from the nearby countryside), a very important ingredient in many recipes. In this class Chef Vitorrio who is from Rome will lead us through this amazing region and it's rich food history.
