Karius Baktus is the visual journal of Danish designer Mads Burcharth. I adore the simplicity of the design, the photographs appearing upon scrolling, and the muted color palette. Will definitely be coming to this site more often!
sights of taormina.
we did more than just eat in taormina. here’s a look at the surrounding town, high in the mountains of sicily.
eating pasta in taormina, sicily.
Let’s be honest – I sampled many different kinds of pasta while in Italy. Maybe too many. Between visiting Rome and Sicily, and then the Emilia Romagna region, there were too many specialities to pass up. The pasta I had in Taormina, Sicily, however, trumped all of the others. Entering the main piazza, surrounded by tourist traps featuring outdoor seating and larger-than-life pictures of pizza, we traveled up a set of unassuming stairs where we discovered Ristorante al Duomo, a Michelin Star restaurant overlooking the square from a quiet terrace. The compact menu featured perfectly al dente pastas, paired with sweet sauces – from ragu to spicy tomato to anchovy with broccoli rabe with breadcrumbs. And to top it all off, the best cannoli I’ve ever eaten – the freshest ricotta filling sprinkled with sage-green bits of pistachio, a speciality of the region. Mouth-watering photographs ahead…
