Description
Book SynopsisIn the follow-up to his acclaimed Made in Italy, Britain''s favourite Italian chef embarks on a gastronomic tour of Sicily, a beautiful, sun-drenched isle with a rich and unique culture.When Giorgio Locatelli was about ten years old, and had scarcely holidayed outside his native northern Italy, he was captivated by tales of beautiful seas, idyllic beaches and a different way of life, recounted by the few intrepid local friends who had been to Sicily.Some twenty years later he finally visited the island for the first time and, seeing it through the eyes of a chef, he recalls, I was completely blown away. It was so green and gorgeous, the whole island was a garden of wheat and vegetable fields, orange and lemon groves, olive groves and vineyards' Now he is producing his own olive oil on the island and the Locatelli family spend a part of every summer there. Sicily has had a big influence on the way I cook,' says Giorgio. I have always loved simplicity, but there, you have true simplicity
Trade Review‘It’s difficult to top Giorgio Locatelli’s last book, the magnificent Made in Italy. But with Made in Sicily, a tome devoted to the food of that magical island, he might just have done it. In fact, it’s possibly the best book on Sicilian food in the English language…A classic from one of the great Italian chefs.’ Tom Parker-Bowles, Mail on Sunday
