Recipe for Pistachio Pesto from Cucina Siciliana: Fresh and Vibrant Recipes from a Unique Mediterranean Island by Ursula Ferrigno, photographs by David Munns (Ryland Peters & Small), and cookbook & mini Cuisinart giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

Sicily, the sun-kissed island that was the home of my family, has a delightful culinary history. This amazing book is overflowing with recipes for you to make, perfect meals for those hot summer evenings. Try the Spinach and Broccoli Caponata with the Lemon Chicken, and then the gelato. But first, whip up this pistachio pesto. I make two batches: one with the garlic clove, and the other without. Either way, it's a winner. This week, we are giving away a copy of the cookbook and Zabar's favorite mini prep Cuisinart!

Recipe for Strawberry ricotta cakes from Honey & Co. at Home by Sarit Packer & Itamar Srulovich and cookbook & Zabar's favorite loose teas giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

These fabulous cakes are showstoppers. I served them on pretty plates, with their ruffled parchment paper still attached. Everyone fell in love. Here is my list of recipes to try next: Prawn, pea and potato tagine, Baked goat’s cheese wrapped in walnut pastry with fig relish, and some lovely fruit cakes.

Happy anniversary, Lea and Howie.
