«Anything but an ancient menu»
Thus it reads the very beginning, and rightly so, of the article by Margo Schachter, on La Cucina Italiana
https://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/storie/chef-cuochi/ciccio-sultano-dominazioni-siciliane/ The piece focuses on the menu Sicilian Dominations, twelve recipes between the past and that future that Ciccio Sultano imagined and printed in a small volume, available on www.cicciosultanoshop.it
The dishes offer a ride among the different Sicilian identities that, one domination after another, met and clashed on this land in the centre of the Mediterranean. Geography and cultures make Sicily a gastronomic continent willing to experiment and the richest in history. As Sultano often repeats, tradition is yesterday’s innovation. Whoever translates its values and transmits the recipes has in a way to betray them, by updating their universal message.
This is Dominazioni Siciliane, a tale of invasions and legacies.
