“Refranes” are Ladino proverbs that help paint a picture of Sephardic culture. We will look at refranes (pronounced “refranehs”) that are food-centric and cook dishes related to the refran. In this way we will explore the community each dish comes from and learn about the significance of the food, or ingredients mentioned in the particular refran.
