'Palermo, the capital of the Italian island of Sicily at the heart of the Mediterranean, has been a crossroads between cultures for centuries and continues to do so today. Sicily is one of the southern-most points of Europe and the different conquerers and cultures which reigned there have all left a mark - not least on the food. \"I think every culture, every people that has come here and that has conquered Sicily has left its imprint - not only on the architecture but also on the cooking,\" says food historian Mary Taylor. In this episode of Street Food, we explore how in a city where cooking is an art form, past influences and modern challenges have an effect on the local cuisine. Editor\'s note: This film was first broadcast on Al Jazeera English in 2008.'
