Description

Sweet, intense, and colorful is how Sicilian pastries will appear to the fortunate eyes seeing them for the first time. Folks who have time to get to know them well, alternatively, will even find it sensual, dramatic, and irreverent.

Making pastries in Sicily is never a purely gastronomic issue; it can be a declaration of love, social ostentation of personal wealth, or a way of mocking a defeated enemy. This is a gesture that involves countless intentions, coded and described in stories rooted within the mists of time.

This anthology collects a few of those stories and probably the most delicious Sicilian sweets, illustrated by poignant images and accompanied by some personal tips. The scents of childhood and cherished memories are bound together by one certainty: In Sicily, a sweet is never something that may be just good to eat. This is a magical microcosm, an ancient tale, a legend that demands to learn.
