Review quote:
"Sicilian cuisine seems simple, with a splash of Marsala on the veal, a caponata on toast, couscous with seafood and a decorative cassata. But, as the new handsome Sicily explains, the island offers distinctive regional cuisines based on local products. . .And once you sizzle the veal Marsala from Trapani, you'll commit the straight forward recipe to memory and serve it often." - The New York Times
"Think of [Sicily] as more of a travelogue, albeit one peppered with 50 recipes. . .This is the sort of cookbook where the full-page photograph alone of those sarde a beccafico could turn a sardine hater into a lover." - LA Weekly
"It seems home cooks can never get enough Italian. . .Sicily is sure to offer solid, traditional recipes from all the island's provinces." - Publishers Weekly, Top Ten Cookbooks for Spring
"Sicily compiled by the esteemed editors of the Italian classic The Silver Spoon, with 50 regional recipes and more than 150 full-color photos of the countryside and kitchen, offers a new tribute to this storied, sun-drenched land and it's vibrant, varied table. . .This is a great book for travelers, cooks and dreamers, armchair and otherwise." - BookPage
"To capture the entire sense of a place between the covers of one cookbook is no small task. Yet, here is a photo of bobbing fishing boats that feels so close that I can practically smell the salt water. And a woman making fresh couscous that I want to scoop with my hands, and a basket of silvery fresh-caught anchovies for dinner, and spirals of yellow pasta, and. . .and. . .and. Sicily is one of those cookbooks that transports and inspires." - TheKitchn.com
