The Tuscan Year : Life and Food in an Italian Valley
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Month by month, Elizabeth Romer details a year in a Tuscan kitchen. Noting farm recipes calling for olive oil measured in wine glasses, Romer recounts the way of life folks in Tuscany have enjoyed for centuries. In winter they spin wool and cure quantities of prosciutto. In springtime the pecorino cheese is made, while in summer the farm is ripe with corn, pears, and sweet peas. Then, of course, comes autumn, the time for wine, the time of the harvest. The rhythm of life naturally follows the foods of the seasons. You shouldn't read it without some good food nearby.
Catherine Fredman, Food and Wine
"Evocative narrative and authentic recipes are intertwined in...[this] beautifully written book about the food grown and prepared by a family living on a farm in Tuscany."
