About the Author

Enza Genovese was born in Trapani in 1956, on the western coast of Sicily, 'the city of the two seas'. Like many Sicilians at the time, in 1961 her parents left to settle in Montpellier, France, where they started a Sicilian grocery store that Enza managed for many years. Enza has regularly travelled around Italy in search of new and exciting products, maintaining a strong link with her mother country. This culminated in her book, Sicily, a collection of recipes that pay tribute to both her parents' home cooking and the rich gastronomic tradition of the island.
