Lovesicily's extra virgin olive oil tasting with olive oil "master" at Mastri di San Basilio
Posted on Wednesday 19th of May 2010 under About loveSicily | Cookery Course News | Food and Drink
Every season we like to update our culinary tours in the attempt to include always the best food related experiences this area of Sicily has to offer. Now, if you have been to one of our cookery lessons or are familiar with this blog, you already know about my respect for Mastri di San Basilio's work and my appreciation for their extra virgin olive oils, both Riserva and Due Sicilie. Nothing really new about that!
Spring nature's gifts: Sicilian wild herbs
Posted on Monday 17th of May 2010 under About loveSicily | Cookery Course News | Food and Drink
We are right in the middle of our spring culinary and cooking tours right now and I have little time to devote to the blog, but I just could not wait any longer to share with you the pictures of wild herbs which are essential ingredients in my cooking classes.
Turbanti ri Spatulidda: scabbard fish turbans with wild fennel
Posted on Tuesday 27th of April 2010 under Cookery Course News | Food and Drink | Recipes
I love this fish called "spatulidda" in Sicilian, "pesce sciabola" in Italian, "scabbard fish" in English. I like it simply grilled, baked in a parcel with herbs or "in umido", but the recipe below with bread crumbs, cheese and herbs is one of my favourites. We prepared this recipe in our latest cookery courses and it proved very succefful with guests too. It is simple but requires top quality ingredients, especially good extra virgin olive oil, fresh fish and herbs and great tomatoes. It is also very versitile and can be adapted to other kinds of fish.
Via Ritiro N.7 Progress
Posted on Thursday 28th of February 2008 under Cookery Course News | Via Ritiro
Our long-term project of giving loveSicily a permanent location for our cookery courses has taken a huge step forward last week.
After a long 10 months that the house was covered in scaffolding most of it is now off. While there is still some way to go this was undoubtetly a symbolic moment. We chose an ash brown colour for the outside walls that fits with the character of the house and the historical centre of Modica. It is also, we think, a perfect match to the brass pipes and air passages.
Cookery Course Season comes to an end

The loveSicily Spring and Summer cookery courses have now come to an end. It is far too hot to stay in the kitchen so break until September is in order.
