the eatwith guide to summer in sicily

Sicily, located in the southern region of Italy, is known for its rich and diverse food culture. With a history influenced by different civilizations such as Greek, Roman, Arab, and Spanish, Sicilian cuisine offers a unique blend of flavors and ingredients.

From traditional dishes like arancini (fried rice balls stuffed with meat or cheese), pasta alla Norma (pasta with eggplant and tomato sauce), to street food favorites like panelle (chickpea fritters) and sfincione (Sicilian-style pizza), there is something for every palate in Sicily.

One of the best ways to experience authentic Sicilian cuisine is through Eatwith hosts. These local hosts open up their homes to guests and offer cooking classes, food tours, and home-cooked meals using traditional recipes passed down through generations.

Not only do you get to taste delicious dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, but you also get a chance to learn about the history and culture of Sicilian cuisine from someone who grew up making these dishes.

In addition to food experiences, Eatwith hosts also provide insights into the local lifestyle. You may have the opportunity to visit a nearby market with your host to pick out ingredients or join them for a family dinner where you can engage in conversations and form connections with locals.
