Nassau Sephardic Cooking

During the Inquisition, the Crypto-Jews or Chuetas publicly professed Catholicism while privately adhering to Judaism. Synagogues were secretly built in private homes. Signs of this “secret” community can still be found today with many of the current jewelry shops having been kept within their families for generations beforehand.

Come on a culinary adventure as we take a cooking class with one of the members of the Majorca Jewish community. We will discover some Jewish roots in the local gastronomy on the island today. Bring your apron as we will send out the recipe in advance so you can participate with us! Make sure to have a lovely glass of Spanish red or white wine as we cook together!

In their new and cutting-edge virtual cooking class, Carla & Dani Rotstein bring their wealth of Jewish informal education straight to your kitchen, pulling back the curtain on some of the Spanish island’s not-so-secret gastronomic recipes. Don’t miss your chance to discover some of the Jewish roots in the local cuisine and learn how to make it yourself!
