Even though times were tough and money sometimes scarce, there was always enough food to eat. No one ever wanted for anything. As children, my brother, sister, and I always had friends with us, and mom had plenty of food for everyone. She was a genius when it came to making something out of nothing.
In putting together this simple cookbook that uses modern-day ingredients, I am hoping to form a bond with a new generation of Sicilian cooks who will keep the traditions, tastes, and aromas of an ancient island alive for a very long time.
