05/30/2026 Cooking Class: Torta Pasqualina Ligure

Saturday, May 30

12:00-2:00PM

Explore the ancient, sun-drenched baking traditions of the Italian Riviera with Spring Tarts from Liguria. This workshop focuses on the versatile art of pasta matta—a simple, unleavened "crazy dough" that is stretched into paper-thin layers to create a signature crisp finish. You will learn to construct the iconic Torta Pasqualina, traditionally featuring layers of greens and whole eggs to symbolize rebirth, alongside a savory cipolle tart and a rustic greens and rice tart. You’ll master the technique of layering and tucking these delicate sheets, resulting in a collection of golden, flaky tarts that capture the vibrant, herbal essence of a Ligurian spring.
