Number 33: Anna's Sicilian Kitchen, intense and pure flavours

Bartolo and Anna are our hosts here at Casa Albergo Maggio, warm and generous, and we communicate with smiles and our hands! As she welcomed us into her kitchen with a shot of coffee I could smell the veal ragu gentling cooking on the gas stove.

Number 33:
Anna's Sicilian Kitchen, intense and pure flavours.

Anna called us to dinner at 8pm and we were treated to the simplicity of fresh produce perfectly prepared. She explained that they grow their own vegetables, make their own olive oil, harvest wild herbs and serve their guests seasonal food. The wine and water are local too.
This meal was a window into a Sicilian kitchen and what a true gift after a day on the path to be taken care of like this!

Antipasto, primo piatto, secondo piatto and dolci.
Bruce with Anna, he particularly loved the meal after a tough day seeing Cathy fall and having to spend the afternoon at the nearest hospital. Rest well and recuperate Cathy!
