I segreti della tavola di Montalbano

I segreti della tavola di Montalbano by Stefania Campo is an investigation into the gastronomic universe of Andrea Camilleri, expressed through his illustrious character: Inspector Montalbano, gluttonous and constantly affected by an immoderate “pittio”. For him, food is the main object of desire and must be conquered at all costs, but the secrets of the succulent dishes are guarded by others, the “cammarera” Adelina, Calogero, Enzo. The recipes are revealed in these tasty pages to be savored in silence and solitude, with a happy and clear mind, as when Montalbano sits down to taste his favorite dishes. The result is an anthology as inviting as a well laid table, with recollections of food and dishes taken from Camilleri’s childhood memories in Sicily.

Expanded and updated edition.
