«La Cucina» is the romantic and magical realist novel by Lily Prior, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (288 pages, in French).
Although the title refers to the kitchen, it is not a cookbook: it is a novel set in Sicily that weaves gastronomy, passion and disillusionment with the Sicilian mafia as a backdrop. A celebration of life and the senses, with a tone of parody and satire, where cooking and desire transform the protagonist's destiny.
First novel by Lily Prior, originally published in 2000 as La Cucina: A Novel of Rapture. French edition translated by Marie-France Girod; nominated for the Orange Prize in 2002.
For those interested in romantic fiction and magical realism, and in stories set in Italy where gastronomy takes centre stage.
