Nothing beats Italian food for accessible, easy-to-make dishes that will please all ages and appetites. Much more than just the pizza and pasta we’re so in love with here in the UK, under the guidance of a cook who really knows the range of specialities from the different areas of the country, you can easily create an authentic bit of Italy at home in your kitchen.
This month, we’re focusing on the sun-drenched island of Sicily with chef and food writer Ursula Ferrigno’s new book Flavours Of Sicily. Ursula is half-Italian and cultivated her passion for cooking when she was a child, helping her grandmother prepare family meals. Today, she is a prolific food writer and cookery teacher (cookwithus.co.uk).
