Would you like to become a Museum Foodie?

Our Foodie Group meet monthly to discuss, cook and eat food inspired by stories from our collection, artists and events we programme, as well as our own members’ heritage and backgrounds. Our workshops are informal, chatty and a chance to meet new people as well as learn about new recipes and cooking traditions.

This month we invite you to join us for a special, Chanukah edition of our Foodie Group workshop. Join us as we make some delicious cassola. These sweet ricotta cheese pancakes were traditionally made by Sephardi Jewish communities and many consider them to originate from the popular latkes. Eating cassola simultaneously fulfils the traditional custom to enjoy both dairy and fried food at Chanukah.

So join us to make and eat these tasty Chanukah treats. And try your hand at making some cheese!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

This activity is designed for adults of all ages.

Please note we use all vegetarian approved ingredients but the food is not ‘Beth Din’ supervised. If you have any allergies or would like more information on our Foodie Group please email Elly at elly@manchesterjewishmuseum.com

We are always looking for our group members to get involved or co-host our monthly sessions. If you’d be interested in sharing a family recipe, something you’ve grown up eating or cooking, or a dish/recipe that is close to your heart, that would be suitable to explore in this type of group setting, please email Elly at elly@manchesterjewishmuseum.com
