It will guide you into; having the best, hassle free vacation possible, packed with info from someone who's been going there for more than 30 years.

Sicilian Mama Bear

If You Love Italian; Italian-American or Sicilian Cuisine You Must Buy This Book! Review by un Siciliana-Americana Signora

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

If you're just beginning to learn Italian cooking - or you're advanced.....you'll find at least ONE recipe in this book you'll have to try. But more likely, you'll find several. What I love about this selection of recipes is that they include strictly Italian; Sicilian; and Italian-American dishes. The author recognizes Italian-American as a cuisine unto its own. Falling into all three categories myself, I have a large collection of Italian and Sicilian cook books, but none specifically for Italian-American. I think this is about as close as I'll get. Dishes from my childhood (along with some charming anecdotes from the author) are in here and my mouth waters just thinking about which one I'll make first.

The recipes are rather simple just like *real* Italian food. I remember the time I asked Zia Elena for her spaghetti sauce and meatball recipes. To me, she was the Queen of authentic and delicious Sicilian/Neopolitan cookery (she married one of those northern Italians, so learned to cook for him. I had to ask her on the sly as no one would admit to her superior culinary skills in front of their own mothers!) Her list of ingredients was short and of course, delicious. Most Italian recipes are like that ---- not complicated, but delicious.

I give this book two paws up! For the price, it's such a deal, it should be in any cook book collection which focuses on the three types of Italian food. And lest the reader say, "But I thought Sicilians *were* Italians..." You can read up on this on the internet and see that Sicily had hosted numerous types of colonies for hundreds of years by everyone from Greeks, Arabs, Byzantines, even Scandinavians!. It only became part of Italy in 1860. Then in 1946 it became an autonomous region. Why does this matter? Sicilian cooking has many influences and so differs, although at times in subtle ways and sometimes in a complete composition expression to the more northern Italian food and customs. Due to Sicily's proximity to Greece, a dear Greek man once told me (as I choked on the sweetness of the baklava he had just given me), that Sicilians were "just Greeks" who wanted to be Italians. May be a grain of truth in that.!

If you love this outrageously ethnic food, then I highly recommend this. It's the kind of book I wish Zia Elena would have written and left to me! Thanks, Daniel

Italian Secrets Worth Sharing

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

I loved this little book of Italian Secrets. The way it’s laid out, the anecdotes and the cultural references all make for a light hearted ride into amazing cuisine. I love Italian food, and this is one of my favorite books in recent memory. There’s a very easy to follow path here, and if you want to cook with some secret recipes, here is your opportunity.

I for one love the Clams Casino recipe, as it really is one of the best dishes I’ve ever made in my home. I’m not a great cook, but the easy to work with recipe, let me impress my family, and they really liked the flavors. I’m going to try more of them out, but am excited about how the recipes taste. You’ll love this book, the recipes, and the food, guaranteed. Check it out.

Dat's a da stuff. I hate to be stereo typical but the book is so why not. It doesn't fail to entertain, and gives some good recipes. The only nit pick is most of the recipe makes enough for an army so plan to calculate down if just cooking for a couple. This is a small thing tho - overall I am happy with it.

The Best

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2014

I bought this recipe book because I absolutely love the recipes in "Sunday Sauce". The superior quality of the recipes in "Segreto Italiano" are definitely a great addition to my collection. The recipes are authentic and full of flavor. My favorites are the Manicotti and the Italian Cheese Cake. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I cooked a few of the recipes for my family and they think I am the best cook ever. Well, they don't know my little secret. This is something that I will hold on too and pass down to my kids.

The "not so secret" Italiano

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

Wow, we're do I begin. I love Italian food. I cook Italian food. I'm always on the hunt for great authentic recipes. I was hoping this book would add, maybe even a couple of great recipes to my repertoire. I was sadly mistaken. First this book is riddled with typos, what is a tsp of slat? Was this even proof read before it went to print, apparently it not. There is nothing special or secret about any of these recipes. Most, if not all can be found online. Gino's Salsa Segrete, yeah online (and with better instructions). You would think that anything that is supposed to be secret would entail the use of a "secret" ingredient, or a special cooking technique, no, nothing. The other thing is how large these recipes are: 5-28oz cans of San Mariano's!! Geez are we trying to feed the entire Genovese crime family? The Fettuccine Alfredo recipe calls for 1 pt of heavy cream! You don't use cream in Fettuccine Alfredo unless you work at Olive Garden! Maybe this was written for people who live way out west and don't no the difference between a pinoli and a peanut. The only secret about this book is the buyers remorse your going to get from having spent 13 bucks of your hard earned cash.
