Discover the unique fusion of flavours that Sicilian food has to offer and bring some Mediterranean sunshine into your own kitchen.

Sicily is a beguiling place and its prominent position has led to repeated conquests over the centuries, leaving an extraordinary cultural legacy and a reputation as the melting pot of the Mediterranean. The island’s unique food is bright, earthy and suffused with the intensity of the Sicilian sun. Juicy tomatoes, the island’s own fragrant olive oil, wild fennel and citrus fruits are all staple ingredients.

In Cucina Siciliana, you’ll discover authentic recipes for the best food Sicily has to offer, including antipasti, vibrant salads, light soups and pasta dishes. Delicious meat and fish recipes feature Sarde a Beccaficco (stuffed sardines), and Abbacchio alla Cacciatovia (pan-fried Spring lamb with herb and anchovy sauce).

Sicilians notoriously have a sweet tooth and are among the best dessert-makers in Italy. Indulge in Pistachio Gelato, Cannoli (pastry tubes filled with sweetened ricotta) and possibly Sicily’s most famous export, Cassata.

    Italian food reflects culture. In Italy, cooking is the product of geography, history, and religion. Italy may have been unified politically, but gastronomic unification never followed, and for this reason, Italy offers such diversity from region to region. What we often somewhat crudely call "Italian cooking" is really a patchwork of local and regional cuisines, all fiercely claiming to be...
