REGIONAL COOKING NOW AVAILABE

Cooking Sicilian

The food from the island of Sicily is in my view is one of the best. It varies  a lot like in any other region in Italy, depending on the vicinity to the sea, inland, mountain and so on. What’s better than pasta alla norma to start with or friselle, a specil bread soaked in water and vinegar and seasoned with anchiovies, fresh tomatoes and freh basil.
Not to mention Cassata siciliana made with fresh ricotta and candied fruit ( my favourite dessert for Easer), a Siclian Christmas delicacy.

Cuisine from Apulia

Apulia, Puglia located south east of Italy streteching down to Calabria all on the Adriatic sea, Ionio.
Preparations from Apulia have an impressive mark which is the wonderful olive oil of which the region is a great produce.
Pasta made only with semolina flour and water, like orecchiette is the most representative. It ingredients and fresh vegetble sauces make it a hit in any table.
