Carmela D'Amore's memoir-cookbook pairs her story of growing up Sicilian Australian in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs with more than 75 recipes drawn from the Cucina Povera tradition. Cucina Povera is the frugal, resourceful Sicilian home cooking built on cheap staples, vegetables, legumes, and little meat, and D'Amore gives the recipes her own modern twists after more than 40 years of cooking them. The book is as much about identity, family, and intergenerational tension as it is about food, so it suits readers who want a narrative with their recipes rather than a straight technique manual. Against conventional Sicilian cookbooks it trades breadth of regional coverage for one family's story and a tighter, personal recipe set.

Carmela's Cucina Povera is part memoir, part cookbook. Author Carmela D'Amore explores her Sicilian heritage and the Italian cooking style of Cucina Povera. She remembers and recreates family recipes from generations past.
She looks back on her teenage years as a Sicilian Australian growing up in Melbourne's South Eastern suburbs. She writes about the struggle of living between two very different cultures, and about the intergenerational challenges within her close-knit family. She also describes how she reconnected with her cultural origins and became comfortable in both her Sicilian and Australian identities.
The book draws on over 40 years of experience with the Sicilian cooking technique of Cucina Povera.
