An Introduction

Let's face it, Sicily has been frequently invaded throughout history.  While the small Mediterranean island cannot boast military might, the many invaders have left behind a culinary influence that provides us with a diverse and exciting cuisine.  The "traditional" cuisine of the island contains elements of Italian, Spanish, Middle Eastern, Greek, and North African food.  Even my Sicilian family immigrated from Albania in the 1400s as they fled the Ottoman conquests.

I hope to use this blog as a way to explore Sicilian food in more depth and to share the deliciousness I love.  Of course, I won't limit myself to Sicilian food because there is just too much good food out there!

Happy Cooking,
Sarah
