A Visit to Jewish Rome, with Leah Koenig

Award-winning author Leah Koenig will discuss Portico: Cooking and Feasting in Rome’s Jewish Kitchen. Drawing on three traditions—Italkic, from the Jews of ancient Rome; Sephardic, dating from medieval times; and Libyan, the most recent—Koenig will recount a lively history of Jewish life in Italy, especially in Rome, as well highlight a varied array of recipes, with elegant vegetable dishes, deeply flavored stews, rustic pastas, and classic Roman Jewish dishes that are designed for the home cook.
