A COOKBOOK DEDICATED TO PALERMO’S CUISINE AND THE SICILIAN FOOD CULTURE

Simposio’s “Palermo” is a cookbook to uncover Sicily’s food culture, beautiful landscapes, traditions, and art through authentic Sicilian cooking recipes and, more specifically, Palermo’s cuisine.
Sicily’s food culture is immense, enjoyable, and addictive, and you’ll discover most of it through Simposio’s carefully selected Sicilian cooking recipes.

In this cookbook, we will explore Palermo as if we were there together, walking around the old markets, talking to locals, tasting their food, and discovering Sicilian cooking recipes and their background of infinite culture and cherished heritage.
The churches are full of history and art; noble palaces are dreamy; restaurants and street food are delicious; cultural gems and artistic meccas are everywhere.
There are many things to do in Palermo, so much that a month wouldn’t be enough to cover them all. But we will spend 48 hours hunting la creme de la creme.

SPRING IN ITALY

But we won’t stop there. Back home, Easter is going to be our bridge towards Spring. We will celebrate with Italian recipes, traditions, and beautiful decor ideas.
I know roses are a Spring clichè, but what an astonishing, magical clichè. We will nourish our eyes and our most intimate soul with rosy pictures, a visit to Rome’s Rose garden, and a little rosy cooking.
