From Hamar to San Marco D'Alunzio - Cooking classes

I am so gratefull to see how important is the passion for this land...Sicily and particularly for this medieval town San Marco D'Alunzio where 6 corageous and nice women..came from Norway to learn old recipes used by chef Marinella who learned from her grandtmother and mother-in-low,

The restaurant La Fornace is known for its medieval menù, a true banquet and this time I enyoied

watching them cooking, making salsiccia from the small black porc, preparing a delicious dessert put on fire three hours before the end of the lesson.

They prepared a wonderfull Caponata with egg-plants, red peppers, onions, celery, vinegar, sugar

then "white" ragù sauce by minced-porc meat to put on top of home-made maccheroni, then grilled salsiccia and to finish with famous "cuddureddi" covert by a sort of honey,cinnemon......sorry but this is really a secret!

these women from Hamar are going to cook all the menù at home to their husbands, I guess they will love them a bit more..:-)
