Cooking Demo with Ursula Ferrigno
Cucina dell'Emilia-Romagna: Recipes from the Gastronomic Heartland of Italy and its Capital Bologna

Fri, 22 May
7:30pm

Best-selling author Ursula Ferrigno returns to Caper for an evening of delicious food demonstrations, this time celebrating Emilia-Romagna with in-depth knowledge of the region's ingredients based on her extensive travels.

Emilia-Romagna, one of the largest Italian regions, lies between the Adriatic Sea, the River Po and the Apennine mountains. Its flood-plain-enhanced soil, known as the ‘food valley’, creates a unique microclimate for an abundance of foods to be produced. Ursula Ferrigno brings everything together in this fantastic collection of recipes. Antipasti, such as Salvia Fritta (Fried Stuffed Sage Leaves), soups and breads, like Pancotto (Bread Soup), pasta, gnocchi and rice, such as Tagliatelle with Truffles all feature.
