In 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. Sicily is Locatelli's most-loved holiday destination. At once modern and steeped in history, it's a microcosm of Italy, but with its own nuances of language, arts and architecture, and a distinctive cuisine characterised by Spanish, Greek, Arab and African influences. Locatelli has fallen in love with this land and returns here year after year, bringing his family with him to share in its pleasures. As he did for Made in Italy, Locatelli sets out to paint a vivid portrait, and although this is a journey on a much smaller scale, the food and people he encounters are no less captivating, no less charming and diverse. He immerses himself in every part of the island, diving into the bustling cities of Palermo and Catania; enjoying the rural tranquillity of lemon and orange orchards; exploring the dramatic slopes of Mount Etna and the ancient acropolis at Selinunte; admiring simple fishing villages and charming Taormina with its amphitheatre teetering on the cliffs. And he delights in the Sicilian food, discovering a regional cuisine that bears the hallmarks of classic Italian cooking but at the same time shows traces of those cultures that established themselves on the island over the last two millennia. Dishes are marked by their colonial ingredients -- pungent saffron, nutmeg and cinnamon, exotic citrus fruits, New World cocoa and maize, and grains such as couscous. There's an abundance of seafood, and fresh, simple produce, and of course the desserts and sweets for which Sicily is famed, including its much-loved Granita. Made in Sicily contains over 150 recipes inspired by these wonderful local dishes and ingredients, along with Locatelli's charming stories and insightful commentary. Beautifully designed, with exquisite location and food photography, Made in Sicily is the perfect companion volume for Made in Italy, or is equally collectable on its own, offering an unrivalled portrayal of this glorious island from the acknowledged master of modern Italian cooking.
