Flavours of Malta and Gozo – Għaġin frisk bil-pixxispad

Join us for a delicious dive into the history and art of pasta-making during ‘Għaġin frisk bil-Pixxispad’ on Monday, 29th July 2024, at the Inquisitor’s Palace in Birgu.

This beloved dish has transcended centuries and social classes, enjoyed by everyone from the humblest of homes to the most sophisticated tables.

In this bilingual session, participants will make fresh pasta from scratch and pair it with swordfish, a staple in Maltese cuisine. Historically, swordfish were speared, especially in the Strait of Messina, where skilled fishermen stood on special footbridges, spear in hand.
