So this morning I'm reading Walking in Sicily by Gillian Price. Being a historian of Sicily, albeit in the 13th century, I'm still interested in all things Sicilian. She talked about gelato and then one of my favorite Sicilian drinks - granite. She gives some history along the way, includes lots of maps (a must in my opinion!) and talks about one of my favorite food-culture-history books about Sicily - Mary Simeti's On Persephone's Island.
So I'm inviting readers of this blog to talk about their favorite books on the food, history, culture of not only Sicily but Italy - who wrote your favorite books and why are they your favorites?
By the way, a good friend of mine and professor is going to visit Puglia in a few weeks. Doing some Norman history and possibly even going to Mt. Gargano - lucky dog!
