Cook a Typical Roman Easter Brunch (One Day Special)

Tentang

Easter means sacrifice (lamb) and rebirth (egg) and these 2 symbols appear on the table decorations and on the food shapes. So sugar lambs and chocolate eggs are the most common gifts to give the children. 

In Italy Easter is celebrated along 2 days (on Sunday and on Monday) in different ways:

• a big brunch for the Easter day
• the classic outdoor picnic on Monday (Little Easter)

So this class is aimed to cook a part of the food we'll eat on the Easter brunch since I will offer even something more that's typical and that's not possible to cook last minute.

I'm a sommelier so with joy I'll pair every course to a different wine.

At the end of brunch, I will serve my homemade Limoncello, a digestive (we'll need).

I have 3 cats in my flat, so pay attention in case you are allergic!
