Synopsis

Palermo does not resolve.

It accumulates—through flavors, voices, and traditions that remain side by side.

Palermo – A Simposio Cookbook is an immersive journey into the culinary culture of Sicily’s capital, where cuisine reflects centuries of overlapping influences and a way of living shaped by coexistence and contrast.

This is not just an Italian cookbook.

Each chapter reveals a world where Arab, Norman, Spanish, and Mediterranean traditions meet—where recipes are layered, unexpected, and deeply rooted in daily life.

What you’ll find inside:

• Traditional Sicilian recipes from Palermo and its surroundings
• Narrative introductions that place each dish within its cultural context
• Insights into street food, ingredients, and regional traditions
• A blend of food, history, and lived experience
• Original photography capturing texture, movement, and atmosphere
