Abstract: La Via del Dolce fra Malta e Sicilia – il ricettario di Michele Marceca (1748) has just been published by Lombardi Editori in Sicily. It is about sweets in eighteenth-century Malta. It contains a number of articles written by various scholars and also includes the entire text or recipes of a certain Michele Marceca whose manuscript may be found at the National Library in Valletta. In his manuscript copy entitled Secreti per fare cose dolci di varii modi, Marceca focused on the use of these ingredients for the making of sweets. Contemporary chefs used similar ingredients for the preparation of main meat dishes.
