Los Angeles (USA) – Sicilian cassata travels around the world telling the colors and flavors of Sicily. After Palermo’s “Four Songs,” downtown Los Angeles was the setting for a cooking demonstration by master pastry chef Giovanni Catalano of Oscar’s Pastry Shop. Sponsored by the Municipality of Palermo, and in the presence of Joe Buscaino, Mayor of Los Angeles, Chairman of the Productive Activities Committee of the Sicilian Regional Assembly Gaspare Vetrano, members of the Drago family, Italian restaurateurs and among many businessmen, a Sicilian cassata weighing more than 50 kilograms was manufactured.


Farchi: “The Sicilian agri-food brand is growing”

“Palermo has been perfectly present in Los Angeles as a symbol of gastronomic traditions and, in particular, the Palermo Patisserie that is now famous all over the world. We strongly support all initiatives that increase the brand value of Sicilian and Italian agri-food – says Carolina Varchi. Deputy Mayor of Fratelli d’Italia and Deputy Mayor of Palermo – this event reaffirms the importance of our culinary traditions abroad. Cuisine is one of the pillars of our tradition, a sign of our history, and that is why I believe that any initiative capable of preserving and renewing this intangible heritage should be commended. “The personal and professional history of Chef Celestino Drago makes him an ambassador of taste, and I am pleased that he has chosen to promote the icon of Palermo’s pastry industry: the cassata.”
