Traditional Sicilian flavours and recipe


Traditional Sicilian cuisine is very varied and features original combinations of ingredients and flavours that make it unique and instantly recognisable. Fish, vegetables and first courses are enhanced with the typical products of this island, such as capers and pine nuts.
