We are travelers and we love Sicilian cuisine very much. With Ottavia we had the opportunity to prepare some typical dishes in a familiar and welcoming context, chatting about cooking and travel. We cooked homemade pasta, parmigiana, Sicilian cod and cannoli with ricotta. Excellent recipes and easy to replicate. Cooking with Ottavia will certainly be a beautiful moment of your holiday in Sicily!!
