In her first cookbook, popular chef Dominique Rizzo delves into her repertoire of Sicilian recipes to produce a collection that caputures the essence of what she calls 'soul-food cooking'. Using fresh, seasonal produce, Dominique creates dishes bursting with flavour, as simple as they are elegant - recipes you will want to make again and again. Here Dominique shares time-honoured recipes that have been lovingly passed down through the generations or collected on her frequent trips to her family's homeland, from fennel and orange salad and baked risotto with mushrooms, marsala and cream, to swordfish stuffed with pine nuts, raisins and pecorino, and lemon meringues with limoncello crema. My Taste of Sicily celebrates the beauty and versatility of Sicilian food, and reminds us why it has such broad appeal beyond the magical island.

"This is the food I cook for my friends, my customers and my family. It's the food I love to cook for the people I love to be with." – Guy MirabellaGuy Mirabella is a man of many passions. The way he cooks and writes about food is a reflection of them all: art, design, film, travel, music, his Sicilian heritage and his family. Known as an author, a cook and a book designer, Guy's books are a gorgeous and original cornucopia of food, produce, flavours, paintings and colour, and Hungry is no exception. Hungry is a lavish tribute to the food and spirit of generosity with which Guy approaches cooking. The recipes are a contemporary take on Italian home-style cooking – the food that Guy makes with so much care at home and at his cafe, where he cooks for the customers he treats like family. From the Savoury Counter choose Broad Beans, Zucchini, Fior de latte and Mint in a fresh salad, or for something more substantial, try the Stuffed Squid bursting with chorizo, quinoa and spices. From the Sweet Counter the elaborate Tutu Trifle is a dramatic statement for any feast with its layers of cream, custard, fruit and Guy's magical "tutu" topping.Hungry will delight. It is a cookbook with a difference, one to savour and inspire, full of warmth, beauty, and of delicious dishes to cook for the people you love.
