In Tuscany Review: Delightful escape - Bought this book as a gift snd also bought one for myself . Book is well written and sweeps you away to embrace the Italian countryside and culture , with warm experience’s delicious recipes and enchanting photos . I highly recommend the read and the very beauty of this book that now graces my home Review: A Gift of Simple Beauty - One of the greatest experiences in my life was my time in Tuscany a few years ago going to cooking school and knocking around Florence (apparently, anyone who was ever important was buried in a Florentine church). This book is certainly true to my memory and it is the perfect amalgam of photographs, descriptive text, and recipes. As usual, Frances Mayes writes only what she knows and has experienced first-hand. Plus, and this is a big plus, she includes loads of pictures of Bramasole, the Tuscan villa she and her husband restored more than 10 years ago. Her descriptions in "Under the Tuscan Sun" and "Bella Tuscany" are loving and thorough, but there's nothing like a picture. The place is truly stunning. But that's just one part of the book. This is an expansive effort that seeks to encompass not only the Mayes' personal stake in Tuscany but also the lives of the Tuscans as defined by their piazzas, festivals, crops, kitchens, and the general beauty of their surrounds. It's an ambitious work of nearly 300 pages done in thick paper with a patterned background velum effect for the text. And the recipes are simple and straightforward. I've been working my way through them and my favorite so far is the Pappa al Pomodoro, the Tomato Bread Soup. But next up is the Zuppa di Cipolle Aretine (Onion Soup in the Arezzo Style) and it looks like a contender. Frances has even included a section at the end that tells where to get the best local produce and goods. Of course, you have to actually BE there. It probably won't do much good to order fennel over the internet. I'd recommend this as a self-indulgent treat, an affordable gift for your favorite lover of Tuscany (or Tuscan lover), or for any occasion that requires a gift of simple beauty. P.S. the Zuppa di Cipolle Aretine was divine!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #795,345 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #606 in Travel Pictorial Reference Books #731 in general Italy Travel Guides #849 in Travel Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (158) | | Dimensions | 8.4 x 1 x 10.3 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0767905350 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0767905350 | | Item Weight | 2.6 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | October 31, 2000 | | Publisher | Crown | ## Images ![In Tuscany - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wkMQuFNWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delightful escape *by B***Y on February 23, 2024* Bought this book as a gift snd also bought one for myself .
