On Persephone's Island by Mary Taylor Simeti

An American woman residing in Sicily for the past twenty years portrays the Sicilian landscape and customs--both rural and urban--from the perspectives of both a foreigner and a resident.

MAry Taylor Simeti, an American married to a Sicilian, set out to learn more about Sicilian cuisine. She stalked the former convents and palaces that housed Palermo's libraries. She put each antique recipe to the test and modified the procedures. Her instructions are simple and straightforward. The content in the book is structured so that it reflects both the exterior impacts of a series of conquerors and the interior changes wrought by peasants, clerics, and aristocrats alike. The chapter titles allude to the tantalizing revelations that await the reader, and the recipes are based on the chapter titles.
