Secrets of My Sicilian Kitchen Tour- November 5-12, 2010
I have fallen in love with Sicily and adore sharing it with my friends. Sicily is such a mix of cultures of those that have passed through and left a sign of their passing in recipes and flavors. Immagine cous cous in Sicily, fish marinated in vinegar with pinenuts and currants? Arab, Spanish, Greek and French all blended into one cuisine. The island’s position allow incredible flavors in the fruits and vegetables.
I have recently returned again to search out new things to see and do and found a fabulous space which was just opened (Thank you David Rocco) at one of my favorite wineries, Planeta.
This tour is for those who really want to cook and love food and wine.
We will be based down at Planeta’s new Foresteria which recently opened in the middle of the vineyards near Menfi with their fabulous cooking school space.
We will also go to take classes with my friend Gabriella at Becchina Estate and also with Pino of the Cantina Siciliana in Trapani.
We visit Selinunte, Marsala, Mazara, Trapani, Sciacca and Porta Pala as well.
My programs are small. I will also offer this in Spring. I have planned the tour so you can add-on days in Palermo at the beginning and also if there is interest, I can arrange a continuing tour after.
Please write to me for the info sheets on the program.
I am looking forward to introducing you to my friends, the food and wine of Sicily and
the Secrets of the Sicilian Kitchen.
Space is limited, but if you want to form your own groups of friends, (6 – 8 people)
I can arrange private tours anytime of the year and also customize them for you.
