Book description
Pranzo is a celebration of Italian food and a Sicilian upbringing on the other side of the world - capturing the spirit of simplicity, fresh seasonal ingredients and sumptuous colours and flavours. Guy Mirabella masterfully weaves his recipes, images and stories around the themes of generosity, love, tradition, life and food - all the things that influence him in his cooking. Fresh and seasonal dishes are prepared with love and respect for the ingredients. From Ruby Red Roasted Plums with Marsala and Vincotto to Eggs in Purgatory with Broccolini via clam soups, hazelnut cakes, sfingi, rabbit stew, Chicken Diavola and more - this is both rustic food to nourish and stir the soul but also beautiful food to linger over and share with loved ones. All of it presented in captivating style with an artist's eye for everything that is vibrant, colourful and joyous about life. Throughout the recipes, personal reflections on food, family, travels and Guy's Sicilian heritage are complemented by stunning photography and design. A story of growing up at Cumbrae Farm on the Mornington Peninsula and of an ancestry that informed his attitudes to food and life, this is a book to explore and fall in love with. And to cook from, again and again.

I'm absolutely in love with this app! It's like a library of stories in my pocket. 👀📚 Exploring stories even with my eyes off the page – this app is a bedtime dream! 😴🎧 Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.

I've become a more empathetic listener and reader, thanks to the power of audiobooks. Looping playback helps me focus on challenging content and grasp complex concepts. A study must-have! A functional audiobook production that met basic requirements. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough to listen to for extended periods, though their performance didn't add much interpretation to the text. The audio engineering was competent without being remarkable.
