A Day of Feasting in Italy
Foodies, here’s how you can feast your way through the day in Italy!
Breakfast: Do as the Romans Do
When in Rome, eat as the Romans do!
Wake up to a fragrant cup of frothy, well-made cappuccino. The milk is perfectly frothed, such that a thin layer of foam remains on the top of your lips after each mouthful. Satiate your hungry tummy with a tempting selection of pastries such as soft brioche and buttery croissants.
Lunch: Munch on Tigelle
Are you ready for a Tigellata Experience?
Tuck into tigelle, a small, round and thick flat bread that originated from Modena. The dough for the tigelle is made from wheat flour, water and salt.
The Tigellata Experience is not complete without a spread of scrumptious accompaniments to go with the bread - we have been told that cold cuts, homemade pesto modenese, vinegars, jams and cheeses with mustard and grilled vegetables are going to be laid out on the table. Mmm!
Dinner: Feast like a King
After two mouthwatering meals, make some space in your stomach for an excellent dinner, for a spread of Roman delicacies await.
Get ready to savour dishes such as bruschette al pomodoro, which are crisp slices of toasted bread with tomato. Next, tuck into the rigatoni alla carbonara, a pasta dish with a combination of ingredients such as eggs, bacon, parmigiano and pecorino cheese, topped with a sprinkle of heady black pepper.
Taste the succulent slices of porchetta, which refers to pork marinated with a variety of fragrant spices, and sample mouthfuls of cicoria ripassata, a dish made from sauteed local vegetables.
A perfect meal does not end without dessert, and this one is no different. A creamy tiramisu is served at the end of this satisfying dinner.
