Sicily is made of strong, violent colours. Sometimes colours have a flavour and a scent. And they tell a fascinating story, a story of peoples, fights, blood, arts, architectures, civilization. The Sicilian gastronomy beautifully summarizes the succession of the civilizations that disputed this incredible land in the past. The Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Normans, the Spanish; there are tracks of all of them in each village, in each town, and in each of the wonderful dishes that form the galaxy of the Sicilian cuisine. You need an encyclopedia to cover the entire panorama. My app is only a little trip among the immense galaxy, a respectful tribute to this incredible palette of colours.
So come taste Sicily. And then we hope we will have you all as our welcome guests!
