The Island Cuisines
The cooking styles of Italy's major islands, Sicily and Sardegna, is quite distinct from both each other and the Continent. And they both have much to offer.
La Cucina Sarda
Though Sardinia is a major island, the cuisine is distinctly continental, with an emphasis on meats, dairy products, and vegetables.

La Cucina Siciliana
Sicilian Cuisine is one of Italy's most sophisticated and certainly the most eclectic; almost every people to sail the Mediterranean -- the Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards, and even the English -- has visited, bringing new ingredients and ideas that the long-term residents adapted and reworked.
