Penza and Corsi offer a warm, appreciative look at Sicilian cooking as it has

innovation, these 99 recipes represent a blend of centuries of delicate variation and their

refinements of modern cooking techniques.

Worth the price used
After a brief but helpful introduction, the authors provide 99 recipes in three

main sections: vegetables (55), meat (18) and fish (26). The sections are further divided by

ingredients, so you get three cauliflower recipes in a row, and, later, two with scallops, and

so on. I’m personally appreciative of the number of bean/legume recipes (10), and there

are several good ideas for pesto and lasgane sprinkled throughout.

The recipes range from very easy to mildly challenging, but the authors do not cut

corners with ingredients. There’s no garlic powder or canned crushed tomatoes here

(canned peeled are okay). The illustrations by Miriam Dougens are nice, but I always prefer

photos. This book will not lie open and flat on its own.

EDIT: also, there’s no index.

It was a typical Friday evening. Leaving downtown late with an estimated arrival time at home of about 7 p.m. What are we going to do for dinner? We could stop and eat in Kaneohe at our regular Thai restaurant, but the cats are waiting and hungry. Is there something that we can scrounge from the freezer that won’t take too long to cook? So…chopped onion browned in a 12″ cast iron frying pan. Add garlic. Dig a leftover low-fat Italian sausage out of the freezer, cut into pieces, drop in w

A cousin of mine in Minnesota was the first one in our family to make this meatless spaghetti sauce. She passed down the recipe to various relatives over the years, and it’s become a mainstay in my family.
