Aztec chocolate in Sicily: A Virtual Cooking Class (April 19, 2021)

当西西里摄影师费迪南多·希安娜来到瓦哈卡州，体验了根据阿兹特克食谱制作巧克力的过程时，他说他感觉就像在家里一样。 来自墨西哥西西里岛小镇莫迪卡的游客也可以体验到这种体验，那里的巧克力也是按照这种非常古老的技术制作的。

On Mon. April 19 (11am EST, 17 in Italy) join us for the virtual event “Aztec Chocolate in Sicily” to discover one of the fascinating transnational routes of cultural cross-pollination created by the Spanish Empire and its legacy… in a chocolate bar. Chef Annalisa Pompeo will guide us through the preparation of bars with different flavors, from chili pepper to cinnamon, after chocolatier Pierpaolo Ruta illustrates the history of this preparation and its unconventional meaning in today’s Made in Italy market.

This webinar will be presented in Italian with (optional) simultaneous interpretation in English and Spanish.  For more info, see flyer below and webpage. RSVP HERE

The event is part of the NEH project “Memoria Presente: The Common Spanish Legacy in Italian and Latin American Cultures” and the COIL video project in collaboration with the University of Palermo.
