On the occasion of the “Third World Week of Italian Cuisine”, a lecture on the Venetian Jewish culinary tradition and tastings of some typical dishes, by Susy Cesana Amram.
On the occasion of the World Week of Italian Cuisine, the Italian Cultural Institute in Haifa organizes an Italian kosher cuisine evening.
This year the event focuses on the typical Jewish cuisine of Venice, an intriguing fusion of three great Jewish cultures, which merged in Venice over the centuries: German (Ashkenazi), Italian and the Levantine (Sephardi).
After a brief introduction on the history of the Jewish cuisine of Venice, Susy will offer a few tastings of some traditional Venetian Jewish dishes, such as scacchi in brodo, the frisensal, mullet with raisins and pine nuts, rizi with almonds, and some typical cookies, such as bisse and zuccherini.
