makes a GREAT GIFT!
Allow me to begin by introducing myself - my name is Linda Bilo-Brechtel, the youngest daughter and third child of Angelo and Margherita Bilo, Italian immigrants both born in Palermo, Sicily. The process of this family cookbook, "MY SICILIAN KITCHEN" has been a true labor of love. I have translated our family recipes from Italian to English, and tested and tasted the recipes to ensure authenticity.
- Antipasti (Appetizers)
- Primi (First Courses)
- Secondi (Main Courses)
- Conrori (Side Dishes)
- Dolci (Desserts)
Our Italian heritage is demonstrated through the love and art of Italian cooking. Our family recipes and techniques are unique to the Palermo region. Sicilian colors and food have an intensity and brilliance that overwhelm the senses. The food is organic by way of craft style preparation- everything is always FRESH!
The recipes in "MY SICILIAN KITCHEN" are straight forward, filled with love and family history - every attention to detail for authenticity and preparation style is preserved. This book will not only give you a feeling for old-world Sicily through cooking techniques and a history of my family, but a real taste of true Sicily!
In my family, love is shared by cooking homemade Sicilian meals! The creations I share in my book have been prepared by Bilo family members for generations - and are now passed on to you and your family. Make them a tradition! You will soon learn how special they truly are.
Buon Appetito!
