There are a few places more than Sicily where talking of cookery means making a journey within a journey. Here we find a cuisine with a rich and tasty variety of products which displays a fantastic balance between land and sea, and a gastronomic tradition which is quintessentially Mediterranean.
Sicilian cookery is like an artist's palette, juxtaposing strong colours and pastel shades, in a play of highly evocative echoes and references. "It is impossible to understand Italy without seeing Sicily: the key to everything is to be found in Sicily".
