Even with Italy’s rich diversity of regional cooking styles, the cuisine of Sicily, reflecting a remarkable range of influences reaching from ancient Greece to Bourbon Spain, stands out.

A great way to enjoy Sicilian cooking is, of course, to visit the island; a great way to learn about its exceptional food is to visit (virtually now, in person when travel returns to normal) the influential Anna Tasca Lanza culinary center, where a series of new cooking classes and a just-launched program offering in-depth food culture experiences, are now available online.
