Description

Join Sicilian cook, writer and photographer Cettina Vicenzino on an enchanting culinary journey through the flavours and traditions of this unique Mediterranean island.

Featuring three strands of Sicilian cooking - Cucina Povera (peasant food), Cibo di Strada (street food), and Cucina dei Mons (sophisticated food) - alongside profiles on local chefs and food heroes, The Sicily Cookbook invites you to discover the island's culinary culture and let your summer cooking burst with Mediterranean sunshine.

Cettina Vicenzino was born in Sicily and grew up in Germany. She is a cook, food photographer, and writer, and has written several books on Italian and Sicilian cuisine.
