cooking and cookery in Italy, Sicily, Taormina
ITALIAN plus COOKING IN SICILY - COOKERY LESSONS IN ITALY
Food, wine and cooking in Italy is part of the Italian culture, Italian life, Italian style. Cooking in Sicily is a symphony of cooking traditions and ingredients from all over the Mediterranean Sea. Cookery in Italy is an art, Cookery in Italy is a philosophy, Cookery in Italy is a smile to life.
On top of that, cookery in Sicily has the taste of its history. When cooking and tasting Sicilian food and Sicilian recepies, you will track back how cookery in Sicily has been influenced by Greeks, how cookery in Sicily has been influenced by Arabs, how cookery in Sicily has been influenced by Spaniards. Cooking in Sicily has the flavour of the waves of the Sicilian "Magna Greece" sea, cooking in Sicily has the flavour of the shiny, tasty and colourful vegetables of the Sicilian soil that Romans introducing their aqueducts, cooking in Sicily has the flavour of the sweetness of the Arabic poetry, cooking in Sicily has the flavour of the Spanish baroque so dominant over the island.
A language is not the result of a set of grammar rules. A language is the result of a culture and its traditions, its history, its life style and its places. With this in mind, if want a fuller cultural experience in Sicily, and not just be a simple tourist but be a real traveller, you can combine an Italian language course in group or Italian private lessons with "CASALINGA COOKING" CLASS:
