Today we created bread loaves for Saint Joseph to express our gratitude and ask for support for the year ahead. It's amazing how powerful this medicine can be. Viva San Giuseppe! Thank you @cacioevinonyc for hosting our messy @experiencesicily day! See you next Sunday for our prix-fixe lunch feast!

Many know San Giuseppe or Saint Joseph because it's said that if you are hoping to sell your house, you should bury a statue of him upside down somewhere in your yard. Well, as a city-dweller looking to purchase a home, three years ago, I put my statue of Saint Joseph on the credenza in my living room facing a photo of the courtyard of the complex where my husband and I wanted to purchase an apartment. Three years later, I'm writing this as I look at exactly the view that my statue of Saint Joseph was looking at in the photo! So, I'd say that the patron saint of fathers, carpenters, and those who toil for their work delivered. As we've settled in over the past few months, we have fallen in love our new home. Join me to thank St. Joseph for your abundance and good health and set your intentions for the seasons ahead with @experiencesicily on Sunday, March 24 at @cacioevinonyc.

For many, what they associate most with Saint Joseph’s Day (March 19) is the sweet sfince di San Giuseppe. Sfinci are fried cream puffs served hot with a dusting of cinnamon, confectioner’s sugar, and honey, or, like those pictured, cold and open-faced with a smear of sweet ricotta cream and decorated with candied orange and cherry. Depending on the baker and tradition, sfinci may have a different appearance and different ingredients. In Naples, for example, they even have a different name: le zèppole, and they're made with a lemony custard. And in Rome, they are called Bignè di San Giuseppe. This one pictured is from the Sicilian pasticceria Villabate Alba in Brooklyn. We'll be enjoying both sfinci and zèppole on Sunday, March 24 during our annual community luncheon for St. Joseph's Day at Cacio e Vino @cacioevinonyc.

First loaf for Saint Joseph/San Giuseppe is done. Join us today at @cacioevinonyc at 2pm to make your own! I have made this one as an act of thanksgiving to the patron saint of fathers, carpenters, and those who toil for their work. I know he helped my husband Joe and I purchase a beautiful apartment and now, finally set it up, making it a home. #saintjosephsday #stjosephsday #cacioevino #nyc #stjosephnyc #newyorkcity #sangiuseppe #saintjoseph #altar #altara #letavolatedisangiuseppe #salemi #lafestadisangiuseppe #saintjosephsday #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #smallgrouptoursitaly (at Cacio e Vino) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu1Mi7jgt4R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vz7mnaybdfci

One of my new favorite hidden corners of Sicily is Salemi in Trapani province. And in Salemi, one of the most fascinating off-the-beaten path things to do is visit the Museum of Ritual Bread. Gaspare Cammarata (pictured with me here) is the curator of this collection of bread loaves from all over Sicily that have been made by women and men as an act of prayer to their patron saints such as San Giuseppe (Saint Joseph), San Biagio, and Saint Elizabeth, to name a few. As a tribute to these practices, I'm very excited to be hosting two events in New York City that truly show Sicily's profound culture and celebrate the vitality life-giving bread. Please join me! SUN., MAR. 12: Hands-on Break-making (RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/st-josephs-day-hands-on-bread-making-workshop-tickets-32217017968) and SUN.

March is fast approaching, and that means that St. Joseph's Day, celebrated annually on March 19, will be here before we know it.

JOSEPH; Sunday, March 12, 2 p.m.; Where: Cacio e Vino, 80 2nd Avenue, New York City; Cost: $25; What: Those who love making crafts and cooking will relish an afternoon of socializing and creating beauty with dough. Join us for ritual bread making for St. Joseph's Day. The attendance cost pays for the supplies for making the bread loaves as well as snacks including focaccia, salami, and cheese selections (all served family-style), a glass of wine, a cappuccino or espresso, and cookies. CELEBRATE ST. JOSEPH'S DAY; Sunday, March 19, 2 p.m.; Where: Cacio e Vino, 80 2nd Avenue, New York City; Cost: $55 cash/person; What: Join us to celebrate La Festa di San Giuseppe or Saint Joseph's Day!

Macco is fava bean soup that is traditionally eaten for La Festa di San Giuseppe. Fava beans, thankfully, were available during the famine of the 10th century that prompted the rituals for St. Joseph's Day. The soup, which I enjoyed a few times while in Sicily earlier this month, is basically beans, onion, wild fennel, evoo, salt, pepper, and water. We'll have some on Sunday at Cacio e Vino for our feast. #macco #maccu #favabeansoup #cacioevino #nyc #stjosephnyc #newyorkcity #sangiuseppe #saintjoseph #altar #altara #letavolatedisangiuseppe #salemi #lafestadisangiuseppe #saintjosephsday #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #sizilien #italy #italia #italien #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #siciliaph #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily (at Locanda del Gusto)

Each day I spend in Sicily is intense. When I'm here, I don't stop. I sleep only a handful of hours, and then, I'm back on my feet to absorb more. There is something very profound that drives me--very similar to when I write songs: I am a vessel to communicate to you what I am discovering. That's where Sun. March 12 and Sun. March 19 come in. I'll be back in New York to host two events celebrating one of Sicily's most important holidays, St. Joseph's Day. To give you perspective, what St. Patrick's Day is to the Irish, St. Joseph's Day is to Sicilians. It's a family holiday of thanksgiving (Note the Holy Family image from my friend Sebastiano's home in Castelveltrano.) Join me, and you can be Sicilian for the day(s) too! SUN., MAR. 12, 2PM: Hands-on Bread-making (RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/st-josephs-day-hands-on-bread-making-workshop-tickets-32217017968 ) and SUN.
