This book evokes everything I love about Sicily—its diverse cuisines, its rustic timeless beauty, the land itself. Fabrizia is a born teacher as well as a brilliant cook. She serves a history lesson along with each meal, and the food is exquisite.

ALICE WATERS - Chef, restaurateur, and author

Fabrizia Lanza calls herself a hungry anthropologist. She understands that food means nothing without context; she knows every bite we eat has a story and a cultural connection. This book, as with everything Fabrizia touches, is smart, beautiful, and genuine. I am a hungry, grateful reader.

DAVID TANIS - Chef and author

Of all of Fabrizia Lanza’s books, this one is my favorite. It’s filled with enticingly original recipes I can’t wait to make.
