Sicily Guide

Southern Italian cooking is finally getting the attention long deserved. A veteran food writer with cookbooks on other Mediterranean cuisines, Nancy Harmon Jenkins in her latest, Cucina del Sole: A Celebration of Southern Italian Cooking (William Morrow, $29.95), champions the food and foodways of the southern Italian regions of Campania, Calabria, Basilicata, Puglia and Sicily.

Limoncello is a yellowish liquor made out of lemon peel soaking in water and pure alcohol, particularly famous in Southern Italy and Sicily. I just came across this recipe on how to make limoncello by using vodka instead of pure alcohol, which is illegal in the USA to buy.
Ingredients:

Sharon Barresi from RespiridiVita.Blogspot.com answers a few questions for Sicily Guide. Sharon, from Maine in the USA, has been living in Sicily for fifteen years. After ups and downs as for everyone else who experiences a new culture, she feels to belong to Sicily now. Thanks for agreeing with the interview, Sharon! It is always interesting to learn how other […]

Libero Grassi is a contemporary hero. Killed by the mafia on August 29, 1991, he was a business man who stood against their requests of extortion. He did what every honest entrepreneur and citizen should do. For me, this is patriotic. Today is the 16th year anniversary of his death.

Her albums sell in the millions and she has been a multiple honoree at the MTV Italy […]

As previously announced in one of the posts, Sicily Guide has contacted a few bloggers who write about Sicily for an interview. Patrizia Eggleton, an English teacher who moved to Sicily in 2005, from SicilyScene.blogspot.com is one of the bloggers who have graciously agreed. I tried to ask questions that have not been addressed previously and ones that might be of […]

It is sad to see how many hectares of land were destroyed with the past fires in Sicily. According to the Minister of Environment, Pecoraro Scanio, nobody has been found guilty for arson since 2000. Thinking that just a few guys can produce such a level of devastation and the law does not discriminate against them upsets me […]

An increasing number of articles is talking about Sicily these days. Well, I am not referring only to the fire, but to stories appeared in Travel & Leisure, News Blaze, Europe for Visitors, etc… Actually, Sicily has finally been put in the map of travel destinations that count.
