Flavor of Tuscany

The recipes are simple and easy enough for a beginner like me, yet the result is sophisticated and delicious! (My favorites are Roast Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic, and Green Risotto) Most of the recipes do not require exotic ingredients, which is also a big plus.Perfect for an impatient cook who can't spend hours in kitchen but loves to eat trattoria style food.

The author has a thorough knowledge of Tuscany; its culture,food, and people. As if the photography and the gorgeous artwork weren't enough, the recipes are dazzling and perfectly authentic to the region. The information presented in the book is appropriately informative and with all the above elements combined, one is left feeling as though one has actually visited Tuscany! I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in Italian cooking and culture. The price is an absolute steal! :)
