CAFFE VERGNANO IN SICILY

IN SICILY WE HAVE A BAR IN EVERY CORNER: THEY ARE ACTUALLY "CAFES" BUT IN ITALIAN WE CALL THEM "BARS". 

 

A Sweet Breakfast

In Sicily breakfast usually consists of sweets and coffee or cappuccino. 

Here is a Ginger Sponge pudding that I made and other sweets.

A Croissant from Buon Giorno Bio, an apricot tartlet, Fig Newtons and my Ginger Sponge Pudding. 

The thousand virtues of coffee.

Italians love their coffee and they even wrote an Ode to it.  If you understand Italian here is the link praising coffee and how to make the perfect cup .... scientifically!  

A mid-afternoon espresso to pick you up

Working the whole morning is a drag, and after lunch it gets worse. All you want to do is have a nap.

Coffee is known to increase energy and stimulate the brain. So have a coffee fiesta instead of a siesta.
