It is always good to visit Sicily in May 2016 and this time I spent most of my time mainly in South-eastern Sicily. But we did wander elsewhere – distances are not that great.
As usual, the relatives in Ragusa and Augusta made sure that I was well fed, but I do enjoy getting out and about and seeing the changes and trends that are evident in their food culture. I do that here in Australia as well, or for that matter any place I revisit.
Below are some photos of Sicily and links to existing recipes from the blog … more writing and more recipes soon.

Thank you for the wonderful tour! Sicily was not one of the areas that we visited but I’d love to return and keep touring the beautiful areas we missed. It sounds like you had some wonderful dishes to sample :-) Have a wonderful week.
Hi Marisa, yes we did. I have relatives in Ragusa and Augusta and they always make sure that I get the traditional food. I do however like to get out and about and see/taste Sicilian, modern cuisine. Like language, cuisine evolves…it has to.
We also went to Rome this time.
