Cettina Vincenzino’s The Sicily Cookbook is an excellent example of a cookbook with an identity. Vencenzino has given her audience exactly what they crave: Sicily in a book—and on a plate. I highly recommend this beautiful cookbook for its authentic, delicious recipes and transporting photographs.

Kathleen’s family asked me to update the recipes so that they could more easily recreate them with their families today.

The final product is one that truly honors Kathleen’s memory—and her delicious cookies—and can be proudly displayed on the kitchen shelf for many generations to come.
