The Small Showcase with “One, two, three… Cecio!”

The event, scheduled at the Slow Food Headquarters in via Calafati 7 (Porto Mediceo), proposes three recipes based on one of the most versatile and nutritious legumes that Mother Nature has given us: chickpeas.

From the classic and intercultural hummus, to the traditional Livornese chickpea cake, to the most curious and delicious ceciotella – the healthy and artisanal version of the famous spreadable cream – the young participants will discover how much culinary richness hides behind a food often considered “poor”.
Among doughs, scents, and tastings, the workshop will help children understand the value of genuine cuisine, the origin of ingredients, and local gastronomic culture in a fun and practical way.

The initiative is dedicated to children aged 6 to 10 years, who will be directly involved in the preparation and tasting of the dishes.
Participation has a cost of 10 euros per child, while accompanying adults can participate for free.

The workshop, which lasts about two hours, has no particular culinary difficulties and will end with a small tasting of the preparations made.
Availability is limited to a maximum of 25 children, with mandatory booking by Friday, October 24th.

The meeting is realized in collaboration with Slow Food Livorno Chapter and La Bottega di Campagna Amica.
