Cooking and poetry: table gatherings, texts and authors

Tasting of traditional dishes

Food and Poetry: The experience I propose combines tasting typical dishes from Umbria with listening to and discussing texts from Italian and Latin literature, along with the presentation of great figures and works of art. The conversation will also be enriched by musical pieces.

The menu will follow a common theme: simple dishes from popular tradition, with special attention to doughs (long-fermented focaccias, torta al testo, cheese cake), served with the finest cured meats and vegetables. The first courses will feature handmade pasta (pici, lasagna, or other types) with aglione, Chianina ragù, or wild boar. Desserts, prepared according to family tradition, will include salame del re, zuppa inglese, and wine cookies.
