Authentic recipes that should resonate with every Sicilian-American who would like to faithfully recapture the past familial food culture of our great-grandparents' and grand-parents' generations. The revised 2nd edition has a lousy photo on the book cover (imho) but everything inside is a delight. If lore be true, the first best-selling cookbook in the world, sold in the marketplaces of 5th-century Athens, was imported from Sicily. The recipes originating from this ancient island—a cultural melting pot—are a must for every serious foodie or student of "The Mediterranean Diet."
