“Chef Fabio Trabbochi’s Italian Passover Seder at Fiola from Saturday, April 23rd to Friday, April 29th.
The Seder celebrates Italy’s Jewish communities, particularly in the regions of Marche and Lazio (where he grew up), that were isolated from those in the rest of Europe. As a result, these communities developed a unique style of cooking, incorporating distinctly Italian culinary traditions. Chef Fabio will showcase these culinary customs in this Passover menu, with his own Fiola twist.
Dishes include Carciofi alla Giudia, which are fried baby artichokes with a salad of shaved raw artichokes, fresh herbs and squash blossoms; Acquerello Risotto, with lightly grilled Spanish branzino, roasted San Marzano tomatoes, and Sicilian Olio Verde; and Macedonia di Fragole for dessert, which are macerated strawberries served with Tuscan almond ricciarelli cookies. These almond cookies were a mainstay in medieval Middle Eastern cultures; when the Jewish people fled Spain, they brought their sweets with them. The cookies spread through the Italy via Sicily and Venice and evolved into these almond cookies made with almond paste, sugar, and beaten egg whites.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
