Eating Your Way Through Italy - Basilicata, Sicily, Calabria

Chef Sandy DiGiovanni believes that if you want to really learn about a country, you have to eat your way through it!  Tonight, we’ll celebrate Italian cuisine and the influence of the beautiful flavors from different regions. From Toscana to Sicily, Italy has a most expansive and deep-seeded culinary heritage.

Chef Sandy approaches food like she did her stint on “America’s Next Best Restaurant” – with passion, humor, and unabandoned delight. You WILL be entertained… and, you WILL know Italy by the time you leave!  

She’ll take you through the “toe” of the Italy by visiting the regions of  Basilicata, Sicily and Calabria, where we’ll experience culinary delights such as Acqua e Sale al Pomodora (soft Bruschetta with Tomato), Caponata (Eggplant Relish, Arancini (Fried Rice Balls), Finnochio l’orange en Salada (Fennel and Orange Salad), Pasta all Norma with Fried Breadcrumbs, and Cannoli. 

Learn how the Italian “locals” incorporate indigenous ingredients into simple but beautiful works of Italian food art.  As the “locals” go …then so will we … incorporate Italian wines into our journey, as well. 

Don’t call your travel agent for this one! You’ll only find this special “tour” in our kitchens.
