Cucina Siciliana, Ursula Ferrigno

A delightful hardcover with over 70 fresh and vibrant recipes from the unique Mediterranean Island.

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

Sicily is a fascinating place and its prominent position has led to repeated conquests over the centuries. This has left 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. Here you’ll discover authentic recipes for the best food Sicily has to offer including antipasti, vibrant salads, light soups and pasta dishes.

Our favorites: 

Insalata di Patata di Pantelleria – Pantelleria Potato Salad with Capers

Insalata di Cavolfiori – Pickled Cauliflower Salad

Insalata di Orangio di Tarocchi – Orange and Red Onion Salad

Zuppa di Fava con Lemoni, Menta e Pasta – Broad Bean Soup with Lemon, Mint, and Pasta

Triglia alla Cartocchio – Red Mullet in an Envelope

Frittata Lasagne – Frittata Lasagne

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.
