ISBN: 9780312559182.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplete 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.\nAt 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.\nThirty 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.\nOnce 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thomas Dunne Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44977806966837,"sku":"ByrdShop_0312559186","price":30.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312559182_b856e363-5cc3-42ae-8a49-001df728e52b.jpg?v=1778970565","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sweet-honey-bitter-lemons-travels-in-sicily-on-a-vespa-9780312559182","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
