timbale of Leopard by Scarlett Holidays in Sicily last year were most beautiful of my life ... for now ... so I hope to return ourselves. Michele and I have come a gastronomic journey that took us from Palermo in western Sicily and as you can imagine was a real triumph of colors, flavors and aromas that have not only satisfied our taste but are etched in our minds and our hearts, coming into that part of our memories does not erase More.l Trinacria is beautiful for its beautiful scenery, arts, for the kindness of its inhabitants, but also for its culture and traditions of which it is large and lively expression, food and cooking. Pasta with sardines, cous cous, anelletti baked bread and cake, bread with the Meuse, bread cunzato, Sardinian warbler, cannoli, cassata, fruit Martorana, pistachio, ice cream sandwiches with Marsala ...., ... not to mention the fruit and vegetables that we enjoyed a demonstration Slow Food in Monroe .... short for those who want to understand the 'uniqueness of intense flavors and aromas of these products kissed by the sun, you can not find the right words, worthy of such splendor ...
's so that from the reserve of my best memories in front of a pack of anelletti Sicilians against the Mafia Free products distributed in supermarkets and also at the center Italy, I immediately thought to make a Sicilian dish, to make new a small dip in Mondello, where I have enjoyed the Scarlett first time and gave me a hand with his version of the pie Gattopardo.Non I plunged in that deep blue sea, but one day I felt like when you're just back from vacation and still have the skin the taste of salt and heat of the sun.
