From Brooklyn to Palermo, a Chat with The Cheeky Chef

Linda Sarris February 19, 2018

Presenting, Linda Sarris, aka the Cheeky Chef! We first met Linda circa Festa di Santa Rosalia 2013 and we've been eating and drinking amazing things with her ever since. After a long stint back in Brooklyn, NY, Cheeky is back in La Conca d'Oro!

Read our interview online.

Today, we are kicking off a big project I have been working for the last 4 months in Ayvalık, Turkey. Follow along @cooksgrove for a glimpse into the simple life in the olive groves of the Northern Aegean coast. Chef @semsadenizsel just opened her new Teaching Kitchen and I’m excited to be a part of it!✨| Cooks Grove, Ayvalık .

iced raw green almonds taste like green apples and they are full of Vitamin E! Their astringent fuzzy hull and juicy baby almond center are a refreshing treat on a sunny spring day. @cooksgrove 🌿 ✨| Cooks Grove, Ayvalık .

Travel Day 19: Taking it slow with a nice 10-mile wander through Rome. Sunset aperitivo with an incredible view of the city, afternoon at the maXXI museum, dinner at my favorite spot. It feels so good to have a weekend free in the midst of a wild month of travel. Looking forward to unpacking my suitcase, but it wont be any time soon... next stop: Manhattan ✨| Rome, Italy #cheekytravel

my new motto courtesy of @heartrome ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Sicilian aperitivo in Rome was a huge success thanks to @casamiaitalyfoodandwine, our lovely guests + the sicilian producers who sent us incredible food to cook with and wine/amaro to pour. Heart is super full. Thanks to @carolyn_white3 for flying from Boston and heading straight to the kitchen to cook with me. What a freakin’ star!! Hope you all will come to see me in Palermo + book your travel adventures through @casamiaitalyfoodandwine. #casamia_italy #sicilyinrome • •
