Sicily

Featuring more than 50 simple and authentic recipes from the Silver Spoon kitchen, Sicily is a culinary journey through an island that is unique among the many regions of Italy. Sicily's position away from the mainland, its blend of Arabic and Mediterranean influences and its sun-drenched climate have led to the evolution of one of Italy's most distinct and exciting cuisines. Each chapter examines one of Sicily's provinces, with narrative texts that explore the key produce and ingredients that are found in each area, such as pasta with sardines from Palermo, and couscous from Trapani, interwoven with the recipes. Specially commissioned photographs of the finished dishes, the beautiful and diverse landscape of Sicily, and its produce and people illustrate the entire book. Suitable for cooks of all levels, Sicily will show you how to impress your family and friends with the dishes and flavors enjoyed by Sicilians for hundreds of years.
