Roman Street Food by Erica Foffi

Step into the streets of Rome with Italian cook Erica Foffi and discover the simple, honest flavours that have been feeding the city for generations. These are the recipes you’d find in tiny neighbourhood shops, in the streets, or enjoyed standing at a busy market counter. This is food that tastes like home and tells a story with every bite.

In this hands-on class, you’ll master:

Supplì al telefono

Crispy rice croquettes with a molten mozzarella centre, so named for the long, stretchy cheese “telephone wires” that appear when you take a bite

Panzanella

A refreshing bread salad with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and basil, the perfect way Romans turn day-old bread into summer perfection

Frittata di zucchini e menta

Baked with eggs, zucchini, and Parmigiano, a light, fragrant dish that’s a staple in Roman kitchens during the warm months.

Ciambelline al vino

Crunchy cookies made with wine and olive oil — the kind of rustic treat you might find at a countryside bakery, meant to be dipped in a glass of wine or coffee *(Erica will be bringing these for you to try for dessert but there will not be time to make them as a group).

All dishes are vegetarian. Participants will work in pairs and small groups, and leave with recipes and full bellies.

Erica Foffi was born and raised in Rome, where cooking was part of daily life, a way to connect, celebrate, and show love. After moving to Toronto, she began inviting friends into her kitchen to share the traditional dishes she grew up with. What started around her table soon became a way to teach others about the richness of Italian home cooking and the joy of gathering together around good food.

Her classes are hands-on, welcoming, and rooted in tradition. Erica focuses on simple, honest food made with care, from street food classics to handmade pastas, and on creating a relaxed space where anyone can feel confident and inspired in the kitchen.
