Attention! The armed forces of the Terre Sicane are conquering the world. 25 women make up the front line battalion, well armed with pans and local ingredients. They prepare dishes that will annihilate any enemy. This is the Mandrarossa Kitchen Brigade. The army was created in 2012 in order to preserve local culinary traditions. There are many recipes but they all obey certain fundamental principles: they must be made with local ingredients that respect biodiversity, nature and local culture. Today the table is covered by a luxurious variety of produce, as though they’d been poured out of a treasure chest to exhibit the jewels of local cuisine, and the heritage of the families of the farmers in Menfi. The pasta is handmade, the tomatoes and fresh vegetables come from the garden behind the house, the olive oil is made from Nocellara olives of the Belice. The skills of these courageous women have been greatly appreciated here and in several international events. Wonderful women who sing praises to the territory using its flavors.
