Wednesday, July 14 Sicily and Sardinia - Simple rustic cooking
6 to 8:30 pm at Waterfall Arts, 256 High Street in Belfast, Maine
Traditional Sicilian and Sardinian cookery epitomizes the use of local ingredients and is strongly influenced by early trade with the Phoenicians, and later, the Saracen occupation. The flavors are bold, and the diet one of the healthiest in the world.
