What a long, strange trip it’s been for chef Rebecca White, who’s now loving life in the cheerful, tiny kitchen of her Mangia Mi restaurant in downtown Calistoga.

It’s the end of August in the rural and remote center of Sicily. A landscape of infinite gentle, brown-golden hills, different shades of parched, with a house sprinkled here and there rolls into the distance.
