Ciao Angelo
Ciao Julian, I'm ok....Good Morning
Tonight we have organised a nice dinner
in one of our villas
with a private chef
You know, here in Cefalu
our company manages a few villas
and most of the time our clients like to
enjoy the cathedral
enjoy the big rock
going swimming by the seaside
they can find a lot of activities
but what they look for sometimes
is to have something like a
private experience
so we offer them
different kinds of activities the can have in the villa directly
so we're going to have the experience of trying the
home cooking
and it's a nice experience that we organise often
We were in Rome last year
and we did a couple of walking tours and stuff like that
and everybody who did the tours kept raving about Sicily
they were Italians or
Americans living in Rome
it's got something to do with the history or the merging of cultures and things like that
When you're on holiday you want to relax
and you want to have some good food, and some Sicilian food
actually made by someone who is Sicilian
without all the hassle of going to a restaurant and having to think about driving
and all those sorts of things
Ciao Bello!
Ciao!
Come stei?
This is Nino (Antonino)
Today I will cook a traditional Sicilian recipe
but with a little touch from my fantasy, from my creativity
I put a little bit of white wine, olive oil
some lemon
"Mirto"....
I live in Istanbul at the moment
I'm a food tour guide
so basically I walk around, eat and introduce food
and it's a good job
I've heard about Sicilian cuisine for a long long time
and I've been really looking forward to coming here and trying all the lovely food.
Chilli...this is adzsteko
is it spicy?
not too much..this is more...
I have 15 different kinds of chilli peppers in my garden
The nice part is that the chef tries to involve the clients as well
to prepare the food
So the clients feel an active part of this nice experience
I arrived last night about half past nine
this place accommodates ten
we're mostly friends who live in London
I'm curious, I'm not the world's greatest chef, I'll cook but
it's someone who lives here, coming in
and I suspect he's been down to the market and bought something off a boat
Fresh fish, bought this morning. Super fresh!
I love it when people enjoy food
passion for food is passion for life
it's amazing
The service we are offering is
great food experience for people coming on holiday
I think that this sharing the passion for food
is fantastic
The fish is already marinaded in wine
and something else which is a secret
steamed and smoked at the same time
It's very clever.
I'm going to copy this!
Oh!! Look at that!
Bravo Nino!
People like to do it a lot
because they can have their own privacy in a certain way
and a kind of exclusivity
I read about Cefalu and it sounded beautiful and
it's reasonably close to Palermo to get to
and I was looking for a place with a pool
and a view and quiet and enough for ten people
We come from Australia
we're having a wonderful time, we love the place
and we've ended up here...it's great!
So the steaming of the fish takes the fat away?
Yeah, I'm enjoying it, it's really nice
If you want, yes, of course anyone can do it
just make me a call
and I will organise for you!
