Unique blend
by: Joseph NegronProgram: Sustainable Food Systems in SicilyThis program offered a unique blend of culinary exploration and academic study. The visits to wineries and olive groves were highlights for me. However, I felt the program could have included more interactive cooking sessions to apply what we learned about Sicilian cuisine.
