...a great breadth of recipes across the entirety of the menu with plenty of earthy magnificence Strong Words

Cucina Siciliana is to Sicilian cookery what Georgina Haydens Taverna is to Greek Cypriot food; a bible for long, heady summers eating and entertaining at home, Italian style with a glug of limoncello for good measure. Saturday Telegraph
