Mr B's review

Sicily- the largest island in the Mediterranean. Home of Inspector Montalbano….and the Mafia….not forgetting brooding presence of Mount Etna. With a rich culinary history born of Spanish, French, Greek and Arabian influences, this is Italian regional food at its best. From the street food of Palermo to the finest pastas. From ragus and grilled fish to the wonderful almond-based cakes and desserts of Noto. With glorious photography of both food and location, this is a beautiful foodie journey across the country. Summer’s not yet over- bake some almond and pecorino biscuits , pour yourself a glass of vin santo and immerse yourself in Sicilian literature! – Sue

Description

Recipes from Sicily is a culinary exploration of this well-loved Italian island.

Join husband and wife team Giancarlo and Katie Caldesi as they head to the island of Sicily to delve into its diverse food scene through more than 90 delicious recipes.
Starting in the capital, Palermo, the couple come across some exciting street food that features tasty Arancini (rice balls stuffed with meat sauce and cheese) to Sfincione, a thick Sicilian pizza, topped with tomatoes, onions, anchovies and caciocavallo cheese. Heading to Noto, almonds feature in some of Italy’s most memorable desserts including a classic Semifreddo to a refreshing Almond Granita (served with fresh brioche, for dunking). No Sicilian book would be complete without Pasta Alla Norma (pasta with tomatoes and eggplants) and the classic, ricotta-filled sweet delight Cannoli.
Set against the backdrop of breathtaking photographs of the islands and Katie’s anecdotes of their travels, Recipes from Sicily is a stunning cookbook and visual feast of one of Italy’s most amazing destinations.
