For centuries, vegetables have been at the center of Sicilian cooking, starring in dishes like robust bean soup, richly stuffed eggplants, and earthy mushrooms and fresh tomatoes sizzled with olive oil and herbs and tossed with pasta. Today, the old ways are new again as home cooks rediscover the glories of ripe, tasty vegetables simply and delectably prepared. In Sicilian Vegetarian Cooking, author John Penza brings your 99 more traditional and contemporary recipes that are delicious, easy-to-prepare - and completely vegetarian. Dishes like Sicilian Hummus and Polenta-Tomato Pie take their place beside Farfalle with Sundried Tomato and Olive Pesto and Pizza Stuffed with Broccoli and Mushrooms - showing how Sicilian cooking draws from the ingredients of the whole Mediterranean region. With chapters on appetizers, soups, pastas, rices, polenta, pizza, egg dishes, Sicilian specialities, salads, and desserts, Sicilian Vegetarian Cooking provides a bountiful array of recipes that will satisfy your senses with the timeless flavors of the harvest. - from Amazon
