In a “Taste of Sicily”, we travel to Palermo, Sicily where you will learn how to make some of my favorite dishes during this time of the year. We will make “Panelle”- chickpea flour fritters, as served on the streets of Palermo.  For our first course, we will make pasta with cauliflower flavored with saffron, raisins and pine nuts, followed with grilled pork rolls skewered with onion and bay leaves and a salad of fennel and oranges. We will end the meal with a flourless pistachio cake.
