Port of Call Palermo
Multicultural yet profoundly steeped in history and hospitable welcoming people, enchanting Palermo is full of enigmas, beauty, romance, yesterday and today. Please join me at this famous Port City where I have met chefs, restaurateurs, have taken in the sights, checked out the shops, have soaked in some local culture, taken the sun, and generally have done what sailors might do in ports of call, and have always done, have a great time, wine and dine. My two best bites recommendations near the sights are : Trattoria Carlo V: The fresh mussels, Pasta Norma, the house Prosecco Trattoria Ferro di…Last modified on 06 April 2013
Sicilian Red Oranges
If you've ever wondered where they get the thousands of oranges from for the Carnival of Ivrea every February, then it's probably east Sicily from the provinces of Catania to Siracusa. It is only in this zone of east Sicily that the 'Arancia Rossa di Sicilia' takes on its classic form, promoted and protected by the 'Consorzio di Tutela Arancia Rossa di Sicilia IGP'. The names to look out for when shopping are 'sanguinello', 'tarocco' and 'moro'. The tarocco is the one usually found in the various markets during the first three months of the year. For the orange throwers…
Sweet and Sour Palermo
Media
Most people attribute the cuisine of Palermo to the Moorish influence, But many dishes, which at first glance seem to have their origins in north Africa, were established long before or elsewhere. 'Paste con sarde' or pasta with sardines, raisins, and pine nuts is one, while the Friars of Saint Francis of Paola produced the Paulota broth made from maccheroni cooked in the left overs of a fish pot. Sicilian orange salad dressed with olive oil, pepper, chives and parsley is also an ancient dish. Roman recipes gave the people of the region honey roasted dormice. If that doesn't turn…
Small Coffee Museum in Palermo
The Small Coffee Museum in Palermo, or 'Piccolo Museo del Caffe Morettino', is an interesting journey through the history of classic coffee, from the beans to the cup. The museum presents a unique collection of rare and antique objects from the 19th century to the recent past. These include Arabic coffee grinders, coffee makers, implements for toasting and more coffee items and artefacts. But it ìs not just boxes in glass cases, the visitor will learn to appreciate the way the drink has become part of popular culture, both at home and in the wider social context. Another section is…
Pistacchio Nuts from Bronte
Pistacchio nuts are just one of a number of products and dishes to be found in the island which were introduced or were heavily influenced by invaders from north Africa and the Near East. Bronte is the town for the nuts, but also 'paste con sarde' at Palermo (sardines, raisins, pine nuts, over a saffron pasta), couscous (Marsala, Trapani) and sorbet ice creams (everywhere). The pistacchio is called the 'oro verde della Sicilia' which means the green gold of Sicily, the production of pistacchio in Bronte has tripled since the Second World War. The best fruit are long with a…
Cous Cous Fest, San Vito Lo Capo
This event was recently described by Tom Kington, a correspondent of the Guardian newspaper in the UK, as a 'dubious', whatever that means. It is, in fact, one of Sicily's most progressive and consolidated annual culinary appointments. Cous Cous Fest in the last week of September in San Vito Lo Capo, province of Trapani, is no better time or place to find out more about this most popular of dishes. The full title of the events is 'Cous Cous Fest - The International Festival of Cultural Integration', and if that is a dubious proposition in this day and age, then there's no hope for…
Pachino Tomatoes from Sicily
Pachino tomatoes may be more familiar to most of us as a type of tomato, but it is Italy's and Europe's most southern town, located in the province of Siracusa, Sicily. It was founded in 1760 when Don Gaetano Starrabba, Prince of Giardinelli, obtained permission to build in the feudal zone of Scibini, then owned by Ferdinand IV, King of then Two Sicilies. The first modern inhabitants came from Greece and later from Malta, but 'promontorium pachyni' was known to Homer and Virgilio and later as 'pachini portus' to the Romans.
