This book is a lavishly illustrated celebration of Tuscany's food, people, landscapes and art, as well as the abundant pleasures of Italian life as it is lived at home, at festivals, feasts, restaurants and markets, in the kitchen, on the piazza and in the gardens, fields, vineyards and olive groves.
More than 250 full colour and black and white photographs, taken by award-winning photographer Bob Krist at Mayes' direction, are interspersed with a lyrical text to draw a rich and distinctive portrait of Italian cuisine, people, landscapes and traditions. Also included are 25 delicious authentic Tuscan recipes, to bring the real flavour of Italy to your kitchen.
