Cook an Italian Sunday Lunch with Farmers' Market Shopping | Shared

Italy, food, and family- three words that go hand in hand. Food is vital in Italy 24/7 but on Sundays eating with family and friends is a mandatory celebration. Families gather all over the country to sit for a long lunch with lots of courses and laughter. When in Rome, we invite you to cook and enjoy a classic Italian Sunday lunch at InRome Cooking. To begin you’ll meet the chef at the local farmers’ market to buy ingredients. Take in the bustling atmosphere and spot fellow shoppers preparing for their feasts by picking the freshest vegetables and debating over which cheese to choose for antipasti. With your shopping basket full, it is time to head back to our 17th-century palazzo behind Piazza Navona or our new cooking school near the Pantheon to start preparing for lunch over a glass of prosecco and appetizers.

Lasagna

As per tradition, the menu will involve a generous primo- a lasagna made with fresh pasta and ragù alla bolognese or gnocchi di patate served with a rich tomato sauce with a dusting of local pecorino. What comes next will depend on the season- we often suggest artichokes in the Spring, roasted peppers in the Summer, and baked pumpkin in the Autumn. There will be a typical Roman meat dish to enjoy with all the wonderful local vegetables - chicken cooked hunters' style with olives and rosemary or roasted lamb. To finish the meal, you'll tuck into a classic Italian dessert such as panna cotta and fresh fruit picked at the market. Sunday lunch lives on as a sacred tradition, bringing families and friends together over a wonderful feast. This is one experience you won't want to miss if you are in Rome on a Sunday!
