Tasting Tuscany by Beth Elon

Tasting Tuscany by Beth Elon

Beth Elon - a renowned cookery-book writer - has lived in and loved Tuscany for more than thirty years and in TASTING TUSCANY shares with her readers a side of Tuscany that is not widely known. Beyond the better-known cities with tourists, souvenir and fast-food shops, Tuscany is made up of hundreds of small clustered hill towns set in stunning scenery with lovely churches, piazzas and rural art that is worthy of the finest city museums. Beth has included in her book suggested itineraries so that the reader can follow in her footsteps and explore a Tuscany that is off the beaten track. A central feature of the itineraries are the restaurants that Beth has discovered over the years and which will allow the reader to experience a culture of life that values natural and traditional food. TASTING TUSCANY includes over one hundred recipes from restaurants so that even when you are back at home you can recreate the delicious and authentic food you will have enjoyed on your travels.

Beth Elon not only tastes Tuscany, she savours every flavour, turns down every enticing road, and joyously reveals her long, profound and continuing appreciation of this place of endless pleasures -- Frances Mayes, bestselling author of UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN
A traveller's guide and a love letter to a place and a way of livingThis is great food writing in the spirit of Elizabeth David -- Joan Didion
