British Crime Classics in Sicily: The Secrets of Montalbano's Table *Online* *NEW*

On our first journey outside the British Isles, we will visit another island: enchanting, exotic Sicily. We will meet Inspector Montalbano of Vigata, an incorrigible, uncompromising, yet incorruptible man, and learn about his unique crime-solving methods, along with his favorite Sicilian dishes, which help him solve nearly impossible cases by providing him with energy, comfort, clarity of mind, and bursts of creativity when consumed in generous portions. The British have fish & chips, the Sicilians have pasta and shrimp, and as we travel through this captivating island, we will realize how crucial good food is to solving any mystery. It is not incorrect to say that Sherlock would definitely have been even more astute and brilliant had he partaken more of creamy polenta instead of plain porridge! Please acquire The Secrets of Montalbano's Table, The Recipes of Andrea Camilleri by Stefania Campo, ISBN 978-88-6580-380-6, and read: I am Montalbano, for our first class.
