Essentials of Sicilian Cooking
Sicily, the largest island of the Mediterranean Sea, boasts one of the oldest culinary traditions of Europe, rich with Greek and Arabic influences. It is based on the bounty of this fertile island, the high quality and freshness of ingredients in season, and easy-to-master techniques.
