> Caciocavallo ragusano (Cosacavaddu rausanu)
The Sicilian name for the cheese Cosacavaddu (Caciocavallo in Italian) was inspired by the practice of tying the cheeses (in Italian, cacio) two-by-two and hanging them so that they straddle (in Italian, a cavallo) a wooden beam to age |

> Oily fish, healthy eating
Whilst it has always been seen as a "peasant" food, oily fish is now being re-discovered by some of the great chefs, thanks to its intense flavour but also its healthy properties |
