Just describing them makes my mouth water

While food often remind us of the ones we love and loved, they can also trigger our endearment for a place. A holiday destination with neon vivid sunsets and appetizers of local cheeses drizzled with honey. A local café where you met your soulmate, and that just so happens to bake a decadent chocolate banana bread. Or, as my incredibly talented and artistic sister-in-law has shared, it can be your hometown, where some of your most memorable food moments were born.

Silvia is a gifted soul in many regards, and I am so blessed she has shared this story reflecting her affection for the island at the bottom of the boot. An annual tradition that has made its way from the family kitchen table in Sicily to her new home in London.

This is a story of seasonal sweets, humble autumn dinners, and baked copper.
