Recipes from Malta

Malta is a cooking pot of cultures and languages, situated between Libya and Sicily, but influenced over the centuries by the Moors, the Crusaders, and numerous other temporary visitors.

Rabbit is a very popular dish and fish is plentiful. Italian and Arabic influences are strong.

Restaurants are very varied - I have eaten in a Lebanese restaurant and drunk Moroccan wine, where wine from Chile, the Lebanon and Thailand was also on the wine list.
