Love Sicily by Katia Amore and Ronald Ashri
loveSicily is the creation of Katia Amore and Ronald Ashri, who decided that the South-East region of Sicily is a place they enjoy and love and the place they really want to be after having lived for several years in the UK working as university researchers in ethnic relations and artificial intelligence, respectively. Katia was born in the South-East of Sicily, in Modica, and grew up just 20 minutes away - in Ispica. Ronald was born and grew up in Limassol, Cyprus (another beautiful Mediterranean island). They got married in Sicily in a beautiful sunny April day in 2003. Of course, loveSicily is nothing without our wonderful collaborators in Sicily. Especially Salvatore Guarino, that teaches on our cooking courses, and Ezio Cerruto, that teaches the mosaic courses.
Another noteworthy site is The Awaiting Table.
The Awaiting Table is a real, hands-on learning experience based in the southern Italian town of Lecce, the gastronomical, architectural and cultural capitol of the Salento, the beautiful slice of fertile land kissed by two different seas.
Clifford Wright, who wrote the monumental A Mediterranean Feast will be teaching some courses at The Awaiting Table next year.
The interplay between Algeria and Italy goes further back then the Romans. The Phoenicians founded Carthage, modern day Tunis, as their base in North Africa and quickly established more ports in Algeria and other Mediterranean countries. I will save more detailed historical information for separate posts.
This weekend I will post more pasta and flatbread recipes that mirror Sicilian preparations.
