My choice of leaving the UK and starting a cooking school in Sicily on Psychologies magazine
Posted on Thursday 06th of October 2011 under About loveSicily
This month our family choice of leaving the UK to move to Sicily to start a new life and career, back in 2004, is featured on Psychologies magazine in Italy.
Leave our post-doctoral careers to move to Sicily and open a cooking school?
Many thought we were crazy, many still think so! Others found us brave! Others understood this was simply a choice, neither bad nor good, just a choice with an unpredictable outcome, like all other important decisions you take in a lifetime!
Almond Harvest 1981 -2011: the legacy is in your taste buds!
Posted on Saturday 27th of August 2011 under About loveSicily | Food and Drink
A few years ago I wrote a post talking about my childwood in August explaining how it was not only a time for holidays, the beach, "ferragosto" (15th of August) celebration but also for family gathering in Ispica to harvest almonds and carobs.
My grandmother, Nonna Marietta, daughter of "U Massa Titta" (Titta, or Giambattista Cultrera who was a farmer) had inherited an almond grove dotted with carob trees and we all had to go to help out during the harvest time.
Keeping in touch with loveSicilians...

It is such a pleasure to receive greetings and news from loveSicilians, people who have been on our culinary tours and spent a full week of cooking, eating, drinking and discovering Sicily with us while sharing some thoughts, ideas and life stories.
Ecco a voi: Matilde!

Matilde is almost one month old and as we promised all our loveSicilians here is her picture.
We dwelled a little on the opportunity to publish the photo of Her Cuteness on-line, but then Mamma Stefania and Papà Angelo gave us permission to do so.
And after all, isn't she a piece of the sweetest possible cake?!
Benvenuta Matilde and Happy One Month Anniversary
loveSicily Children cooking class: having fun making arancini and chocolate
Posted on Friday 03rd of June 2011 under About loveSicily | Cookery Course News | Food and Drink
No offence to the many nice loveSicily-over 10 years old guests who made teaching fun and interesting over the years;), but my favourite classes remain those with children!
The energy, the fun and the unexpected questions, remarks and surprises are simply amazing, not to talk about their "cruel honesty" when we get to something they do not like!
