Replete with authentic Siclian recipes culled directly from the out
of the way island stoves and cafe kitchens that cook them, "Sweet
Honey, Bitter Lemons "presents a travelogue for seasoned travelers,
and lovers of all things Italian.
At the age of twenty-six Matthew Fort first visited the island
of Sicily. He and his brother arrived in 1973 expecting sun, sea
and good food, but they were totally unprepared for the lifelong
effect of this most extraordinary place.
Thirty years later and a bit wiser--but no less hungry--Matthew
finally returns. Travelling around the island on his scooter,
Monica, he samples exquisite antipasti in rundown villages and
delicate pastries in towns tumbling down vertical hillsides, and
goes fishing for anchovies underneath a sky scattered with
stars.
Once again this enigmatic island casts its spell as Matthew
rediscovers its beauty, the intensity of its flavors, and finds
himself digging into the darkness of Sicily's past as well as some
mysteries of his own.
