24.01.2022 Enjoy the scenery of Sicily into your home this evening.. Isnello and Petralia are located in the region of Palermo about 70 kilometres. Isnello is about 530 metres high up, and Petralia is 1000 metres. The heart of the beautiful, breathtaking Madonie Mountains, every year we go with my tour guide Laetitia Bourget from Nature’s Explorers Sicily.

24.01.2022 I shared this ancient recipe last night on our Italian Heritage Cooking Channel it is over 500 years old. My friend Betty Scaglione Cimo gave it to me, I feel very honoured to have made it...

24.01.2022 To start with a great kitchen, and becoming a great cook one must have a desire to live a healthy lifestyle. Redirecting our goals and mindsets, is where we start. It is the calling to life.... The aromas running through our household is the call to #food is #ready. We now have the time to change the way we look at #cooking. By starting to change our mindset to goals, #priority first. #second #howweprepare our meals. Do we just put them together and #pray for the best? Or can we organise our mind to what is the most important thing for us and everyone. Instead of striving can we thrive?

23.01.2022 I went for a walk this morning after talking to my friend Rose Farfalla, this is where I ended up. Nature always brings you back to what you need. Stay safe everyone thinking of you all. Carmela

23.01.2022 I wrote a blog for Discover Places in Sicily this week and found this picture taken in 1955 of my mother Sarina, in the middle, my nonna Carmela on the left and Mela Scardino on the right my father Salvatore is on the road with a little boy I don’t know who he is. They used to go to the paddocks and pick verdura greens that where wild, to them it reminded them of home Sicily. Dad’s first car, he never had one until he came to Australia he only had a little vespa back in Falco...ne Sicily.

22.01.2022 reminiscing, this is a photo captured by @bethhelenjennings on my tour in 2017, with one of my favourite chefs who shares with us his talents and Sicilian history, this is not to be taken lightly as he has an amazing story, looking at food throughout Mario’s eyes is absolutely an honour to be sharing his table. @mariopuccio is an extraordinary chef, he shows you ways, and is very talented, a life in food, his family had a restaurant that he was brought up in. Sadly they clos...ed it after nearly 40 years! Can you imagine what that would feel like? Today this is my shoutout and thank you to him. And my very talented photographer @bethhelenjennings who came with me, and captured the moment. See more

21.01.2022 Rituals are a long standing statutory part of every day. How can we change the way we look at them? Implementing new ones takes time and patience.... Sometimes and very often we don’t seem to have the headspace for patience to enter. It is essential to realign everyday with our goals. Especially now! We seem to be in a constant rut. Doing the same thing over and over I found by changing the way I look at the word #ritual and placing the words #daily #practice instead. This assisted me in some relief from doing the same things everyday. You can go to my #youtube #channel and check out the #video #101waystotransformthewayyoucook #cooking #dailypractice #author #youtube #channel #carmeladamore

17.01.2022 Good morning Melbourne! Today we go to La Scarzuola, a Franciscan monastery in Umbrian countryside, one of the most mysterious spots of Italy! Legend say...s that Saint Frances from Assisi built a hut here and saw the apparition of Christ. The monastery was abandoned in the 18th century and acquired in 1956 by a visionary Milanese architect, Tomaso Buzzi, who restored this place to create his ideal city: a complex game of mystical structures and esoteric perspectives. It is made up of 7 theaters, 7 settings and 7 monuments: Colosseum, Partenone, Pantheon, Arch of Triumph, Pyramide, Tower Bell and Tempio of Vesta. #Umbria #ItalianTravel #IloveItaly #TripToItaly #monastery #LaScarzuola #mistery

12.01.2022 Happy Anzac Day everyone.. Today I have felt like its a privilege to be able to cook and share my recipes with you. Why?... Because of the freedom we have today. So many young people died today. We can enjoy, food and our loved ones, even with this COVID19. We can FaceTime our loved ones, and still be in a great place. I love Australia. She gave my family a place to call home, a place to build. Today we all share in this freedom. Please enjoy this little recipe I made for my FIC family. Happy Day. #anzacday #family #australia #country #home #freedom #priviledge

11.01.2022 What are we doing for Christmas ? Let's bring some heritage desserts back to life

11.01.2022 You can listen to this episode on my podcast. you will feel the energy of one of the oldest markets in Palermo. Here is some information about Capo Mercato:... Il Capo of Palermo, characterized by the colors and shouts of sellers, it is the ultimate fish market, although there is also so much more, including fragrant spices and splendid churches to visit, among which the Church of the Immaculate Conception with its frescoes, paintings, and polychrome marbles. You'll find lots of stalls for the sale of fish, some are full of noble fish, others only sell poor fish. In any case, it is essentially an expert eye to see if the fish is really fresh (the same eye of the fish is a good indicator of its freshness and then the color of the gills which should be bright red). Entering through the door Carini, after a hundred meters, on the left, a window on the street exposes fritters, "croquettes" and fried eggplant; the room inside is a perfect place for a lunch with excellent cheap express dishes which change daily according to the availability of seasonal produces. Good brown bread of Piana Degli Albanesi is sold by a street along the main road. The road connecting the Cape market with that of the Vucciria is beautiful and it's a path to the hidden city stretches, crossing angles, churches, and ancient buildings. Via Sant'Agostino which crosses the street Via Maqueda and then changes name into Via Bandiera, houses one of the permanent markets of clothing at reasonable prices. #Embracing #life #changes #lives. ------ #mercato #capo #carmeladamore #sicilian #chef #international #ambassador #podcast #series #tour #travel

I pray for protection for all of my friends, family, acquaintances, the community and the world. Stay safe, friends, amici. This too will pass. Love Carmela.. See more

06.01.2022 An ancient recipe has come to life through the hands of the artist 500 years old. I will put it up on my website to share it with you. An heirloom from my friend @bettyscaglione from Sciacca, Sicily. It is called #l’ovo #murina In the times of the 1500’s Sicily was ruled by many cultures they came with spices, cacao, cinnamon, vanilla, almonds, this is an ancient dessert made in the time of summer instead of our cannolo as ricotta was only made in the winter time.... It’s name is derived from the ancient times of the moors that’s why we use dark chocolate in the crepe. It’s name also means dark.. I am going to write this recipe and do a blog about it as there is so much to tell you of this ancient dessert! A campaign on bringing back the past to serve us today is to celebrate Grazie mille amica @bettyscaglione per la tua ricetta - @bettyscaglione @carmelascucinaclass #ovomurina #sciacca #sicily #recipes #ancient #traditions #family #heirlooms #celebrate See more

05.01.2022 FAMILY SECRETS - bring unity in a tribe, as the bearer of them has a certain confidence that has been passed through with it to carry it, they can share it, pass it down to their offspring, do whatever they want, it’s their turn to carry it, their life. TRADITION - Reveals that we are not alone, we BELONG to a clan a tribe, that have passed through life before us, with challenges & have come through them, we can learn from this. RECIPES - are our families heirlooms we can sha...re them with our family, friends, neighbours to keep them alive. Now recipes can be altered through generations as they can be substituted with diverse ingredients depending on what the bearers circumstances are. CULTURE - can’t die it can only be resurrected and be grafted with another culture, as every generation has a story and journey to walk. FOOD - has much to teach us, how we eat, what we eat, when we eat, & who we eat with. It can teach us about ourselves, the people and culture we have become. It requires much discipline to eat healthy, to share our meals today together with our family. Why? We all have one thing in common, rich middle class or poor, TIME. What we do with it is up to the bearer, as it will reflect who we have become. - @carmelascucinaclass #recipes #traditions #family #community #familyheirlooms #culture #sicilian #past #food #teacher #memorykeeper

05.01.2022 The oak sleeps in the acorn. The bird waits in the egg, & in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of reality. Awake, arise, & assert yourself, you dreamers of the world. Your star is now in the ascendancy. Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness or lack of ambition. They are born for the dreamer.... This is a photo of my mothers hometown Milazzo around 1900. If you go there now it doesn’t look like this as progress has come through and made it a town. Dream Dare Live Take up the challenge you have set for yourself. Don’t waste another moment as progress will come through and you will be left with the dream. Make it your reality. You have nothing to loose but! Much to gain. @carmelascucinaclass #thinkrich #growrich #dream #goals #life #bechallenged #takeupthechallenge #live #milazzo #sicily #memories #reality #seedsofhope See more
