To round out the feast, we’ll toss a sweet-savory Uzbek carrot and raisin salad, and simmer Persian chicken with saffron and apricots, fragrant with warm spices and herbs. For dessert, you’ll prepare künefe—a golden, crispy Turkish pastry filled with gooey cheese and drenched in citrus syrup.

An Ancient Roman Cooking Class
Step back in time for an evening of ancient flavors and timeless romance as we commemorate the final days of Pompeii with a hands-on culinary experience inspired by the foods of the Roman Empire. Imagine dining in a villa overlooking the Bay of Naples, surrounded by candlelight and conversation, as you savor dishes drawn directly from archaeological research and historical texts. This unique evening allows you to taste the very foods enjoyed by citizens of Pompeii before Mount Vesuvius forever changed their world.
The menu brings the past vividly to life with elegant simplicity and bold flavors. We’ll begin with stuffed dates and figs, a delicacy enjoyed by Roman elites, followed by herbed ricotta with honey and walnuts and panis quadratus, the Roman-style bread famously found carbonized in the ruins of Pompeii. Next, sample coriander-scented chickpeas, a nod to the ubiquitous street food of the time, before moving on to house-made Lucanian pork sausage, adapted from the two-thousand-year-old cookbook of Apicius. A smooth parsnip purée accompanies the savory spread. Finally, for dessert, we’ll prepare pear patina, a delicately spiced custard beloved in the ancient world.
Held on the (probable) anniversary of Mount Vesuvius’s eruption in AD 79, this immersive date night offers more than just a meal—it’s a journey into history, culture, and flavor. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or simply in search of a truly one-of-a-kind evening, join us to taste the romance and richness of ancient Rome—one course at a time.
