Smile and food with Alessia




 Yes, it's true ! Smile and food with Alessia!

If you come in Siracusa, don't miss a cooking lesson with Alessia!
She has a great experience and above all she's a genuine sicilian and likes Sicilian traditional food!
At the market you can choose together the best fish of the day....and have great fun visiting  charming food stalls..

Last time we found fresh SPATOLA ...(someone told me in English is called  "sea or silver -belt" but I'm not sure)









ask to the fisherman to cut for you long fillets of spatola to stuff them , or , with the help of Alessia you can learn how to do....removing the bones in the right way... 




 Ingredients for the stuff: breadcrumbs, eggs,orange juice and orange peel,racins, capers,garlic,origano,wild fennel's seeds,almonds,peanuts,chili pepper...

As far as the quantity for each ingredients .....I can't tell you exactly because Alessia ,with great experience, "fa ad occhio"..that is she uses "her eye"...

Mix all together and then spread  on each fillet and roll it.
In a pan quicly fry fresh onions on olive oil and drops of white wine and put the rolled fish just for 3 or 4 minutes

The spatola is very delicate and its taste is really good!

'U masculinu


You can use the same recipe for anchoves (in sicilian Masculinu) or for sardines,after keeping them on vinegard for about 10 minutes 



Here with Michael and Janet from Australia


And a wonderful water melon ( in Sicily commonly called 'u Meluni) after so many delicious courses..

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com

Now it's better!

Now it's better! Here I am! It's 6 weeks now since I fell, having troubles with the legaments of my right knee! Ahi che dolor! No work,no walk .......... Now it's better.....but slowly slowly....... Buona giornata!
