The mention of Tuscany evokes vivid images of dark cypresses leading to grand Renaissance
palaces; vineyards disappearing into a hazy horizon; and dusty tracks through mediæval
villages that end in hilltop olive groves.
In 1984, the author set off for this scenic region, sketchbook and pencil in one hand and
knife and fork in the other. The result is this book: a collection of authentic recipes
punctuated by her observations, conversations and local gossip.
More than just a cookery book, A Table in Tuscany is the record of a culinary odyssey
through the heart of italy.
Stunningly illustrated in colour throughout. All text has been handwritten in beautiful calligraphy. Colour photo of author printed on rear flap of jacket.
