Sicily My Sweet by Victoria Granof

A love letter to the iconic and often over-the-top desserts of Sicily, gorgeously styled and endearingly written by Victoria Granof, one of the great tastemakers in the food world.

Sicilian pastries are fanciful, bawdy, and brash. They are celebratory, superstitious, and some of the most show-stopping desserts around. Luckily, they are also quite easy to make at home now that Sicilian pistachios, almonds, flour, chocolate, sheep¿s milk ricotta, jasmine water, and the highest quality pastured lard, as well as fragrant lemons, citrons, and fennel are easier than ever to procure. ¿Full of gorgeous food and location photography, warm and witty headnotes, and expert recipes, Sicily, My Sweet is sure to transport and delight.
