New York. “Sicilian novels and autobiographies that talk about food are more important than cookbooks” according to Mary Taylor Simeti, the great dame of the lively Sicilian cuisine and culture in an interview with ItaloAmericano – the bilingual weekly publication that, since 1908, has created a bridge between the United States and the Italians who immigrated here. It talks about art, culture, literature, education, history, business, lifestyle, and much more. “The culture of Sicily, including its food, is a magnificent melting pot, an accumulation of contributions from various civilizations that have conquered the island throughout history”.
