Aeolian dinner at my family home in Lipari, Aeolian Islands

My name is Sarah and I live all year round in Lipari, the largest of the Aeolian Islands, where the sea and nature teach the value of authenticity every day. Born in Sydney to a Liparian father and an Irish mother, I bring a blend of cultures into my cooking, where Mediterranean simplicity meets curiosity and openness to the world. Together with my husband, I founded a tourism project dedicated to welcoming guests and promoting the Aeolian Islands. After studying Languages, I chose to dedicate myself to tourism and local heritage, also collaborating with organizations such as Slow Food. I love foraging for wild herbs and preparing traditional Aeolian recipes, as well as homemade preserves and jams. For me, cooking is an act of love: through my dishes I tell the story of the island, its aromas, and its convivial spirit. Joining the Cesarine family means sharing all of this, inviting guests to discover the true soul of the Aeolian Islands, one dish at a time.
