It is always a pleasure for us when we receive news and pictures from the “students” of the loveSicily cookery programme. It is nice to hear about those who have organised Sicilian dinner parties for their friends or experimented with their own version of the recipes.

Sicily is a region blessed with stunning natural settings ranging from the imposing beauty of the volcano Etna to the sandy beaches of Vendicari, from the charming Eolian islands to the rich vegetation of the Nebrodi Mountains.
