"Victoria brings to life so many of the pastries I knew as a kid, from Boston's North End to my grandmother's own dinner table. This book practically vibrates with Victoria's passion for Sicilian treats, from the well-known to the waiting-to-be-known. I reveled in every page, seeing recipes like Victoria's Spiced Chocolate Cookies and Anisette Toasts, filled the hole left in my heart and stomach for desserts I haven't tasted in years. A pure joy to read."--Chris Morocco, Test Kitchen Director, Bon Appétit

"There are recipes for every skill level (and so many ideas for what to do with ricotta!) and there's just so much great photography and writing." --Julia Turshen

"Sicily, My Sweet is transportive."--KCRW

Victoria Granof has spent years as a pastry chef, food stylist and semiprofessional Sicilian-sweets historian, uncovering her own heritage through this region's worldly baked goods. In her latest she covers all manner of the varied treats found there, and in one of the most stylish releases of the year"--Stephanie Breijo, The Los Angeles Times
