Giesener with Dana Shrager - Founder of Facebook's Jewish Cooking CommunityCome cook with me in Southern Italy, August 31 - September 5th, 2025I'm hosting a culinary adventure: The Jewish Cooking of Southern Italy. We'll be at The Awaiting Table Cooking School, hosted by Silvestro Silvestori, in Lecce, Italy. Each day we'll cook Jewish dishes from a different southern Italian region, including Lazio (Rome), Puglia, Sicily, Calabria, and Campania (Naples).During our time together, we'll shop for ingredients like locals, learn about olive oil and wine, spend time by the sea, and take a field trip to Jewish museums and nearby ancient towns.So come walk in the footsteps of Jews who have lived in southern Italy in the past and learn about the vibrant Jewish communities that remain today.I'd love for you to join us,Dana ShragerAll of our On-Demand Films are FREE to all audiences.
