5.0 out of 5 stars Reflects a complex and multicultural heritage, June 6, 2002

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cucina Siciliana : Authentic Recipes and Culinary Secrets from Sicily (Hardcover)

Sicilian cuisine reflects a complex and multicultural heritage. Enhanced with the photography of Peter Cassidy, Cucina Siciliana: Authentic Recipes And Culinary Secrets From Sicily by freelance food and travel writer Clarissa Huyman showcases 75 dishes that selectively and impressively reflect the scope and breath of that culinary heritage. From Baked Haddock Palermo-Style; Sicilian Orange Cake; Marinated Tuna with Onions; and Gelo di melone (Watermelon Pudding); to Arancine di Giovanna Cavasino (Rice Balls); Biscotti al Sesamo (Sesame Seed Cookies); Ricotta Stuffed Bell Peppers; and Sarde A Beccafico (Stuffed Sardines), Cucina Siciliana is an enthusiastically recommended addition to personal and professional regional and ethnic cookbook collections.

This review is from: Cucina Siciliana: Authentic Recipes and Culinary Secrets from Sicily (Paperback)

Easy, dilicous recipes. Especially the meatballs with lemon and wine. We recently travelled to Sicily and I saw the book there in Italian, and kept looking for the book in English. Didn't find it there, so upon returing home ordered a copy in English. Wonderful photographs, the narrative is informative about the Silician people, their foods, culture, and lifestyle. Would recommend this book to anyone who likes Italian cooking.

5.0 out of 5 stars super book Sicilian cooking, July 17, 2009

This review is from: Cucina Siciliana (Paperback)

very neat book - gives a nice broad range of Sicilian cooking ; although this is my first Sicilian cook book , what i mean is it covers pastas, sauces, fruit, pastries , not many of each , but a nice selection and gives some history of the island, the people, and the food influences

highly recommended , not like most other cook books, these are recipes from actual Sicilians, that live there ;

the author traveled to Sicily , met Sicilians, interviewed them , and the result is Giovanna's basic red sauce, etc.,

really nice touch
