Cucina Siciliana

Rating:
Summary: Reflects a complex and multicultural heritage
Review: 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.

Summary: Simple recipes, delicious food.
Review: The recipes in this book are, for the most part, fairly simple to make. There aren't a lot of random ingredients that you have to go searching the stores for. There are also plenty of photographs of not only the food but the Sicilian region throughout the book.
