Sicily: Cuisine, Culture and Tradition. Saturday, November 17, 2012. Fabulous Dining in Rome's Jewish Quarter. Nonna Betta logo features a scroll. Made of pasta and rolling pins. The Jewish Quarter of Rome is an area that I have always enjoyed and in which I spend a lot of time whenever I am in Rome. Located across the Tiber in Trastevere, some of Rome’s best restaurants are found in this area. Artichokes alla Giudea or Jewish style. Squash blossoms filled with mozzarella. And anchovy and deep fried.

Sicily: Cuisine, Culture and Tradition. Sunday, September 8, 2013. Sicily Exhibition Tours America. Sicily is often referred to as a crossroad.

Sicily: Cuisine, Culture and Tradition: Pistachio: Green Gold of Sicily

http://sicilycuisine.blogspot.com/2013/03/pistachio-green-gold-of-sicily.html

Sicily: Cuisine, Culture and Tradition. Monday, March 18, 2013. Pistachio: Green Gold of Sicily. It is my experience that in the United States, pistachio is more likely to be associated with the Middle East than Sicily. Yet Sicily accounts for 1% of global pistachio production. Pistachio originated in the Mediterranean basin and was brought to Sicily by Arab conquerors sometime after the 11th century BC. The word Pistachio, Pistàkion. In Greek, was likely corrupted to “ fristach”. My cousin Lillina Oteri...
