8 Traditional dishes from Basilicata

For this appointment I wanted to write something different, an article about food but going directly to the source. Hence I decided to interview my grandmother, who with great pleasure has told me secrets and stories about 8 traditional dishes of Basilicata, my home region. An occasion to create a connection between different generations, the opportunity to recover old and precious culinary and cultural traditions. Hope you enjoy, so I can let my grandmother know about that! 1 of 8 Traditional dishes first courses – SPAGHETTI with BACCALÁ A traditional dish of the Christmas Eve, prepared when for religious customs the family can’t eat meat, but eaten also all the year round. We have to boil the typical “baccalà” (salted codfish) in the tomato sauce with onion and parsley for some hours and then dress the pasta with it. Ideal with the spaghetti pasta, we serve a simple but tasty course to savour with all the family. 2 of 8 Traditional dishes first courses – FUSILLI (con il ferretto) with MOLLICA The “fusilli” are made manually with durum wheat, flour

Palermo Sicily

Palermo, it's a kind of magic in Sicily

Sicily has been dominated for a long time by different populations that have made it an island full of wonderful contrasts, considered one of the most beautiful islands of the world. Lights, colours and scents distinguish this marvellous land, especially its regional capital, Palermo. Palermo has a very distinct atmosphere and is a mysterious place with conflicting characteristics which you can notice strolling through its charming streets. Its strategic position, in the middle of the Mediterranean, attracted numerous invaders including Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans and especially Spanish, the most influential population. Palermitan culture is therefore, the amazing result of the different ethnic groups that had left evident signs during centuries.
