Toscana in Cucina: The Flavours of Tuscany

I have spent a lot of time, and done a lot of eating, in Florence and Tuscany. "Toscana in Cucina: The Flavours of Tuscany" is one of the best cookbooks on Tuscan cuisine that I have seen, and I have seen a lot of them. The cuisine of Tuscany is very distinct from other parts of Italy, which are in turn very distinct from each other as well. There is a bias toward beef and pork in Tuscany as there is a bias toward seafood in Venice or pasta in Rome. I was very much impressed by both the book layout, the well selected photos of Florence and Tuscany, and by the authentic and well presented recipes. The recipes and choices of foods are spot on for traditional Tuscan cuisine. The book also includes a few fresh takes on modern Tuscan dishes. The text is in dual language Italian and English, side by side, so it's also a great learning tool for brushing up on your Italian for a visit. A lovely cookbook. RECOMMENDED.

Bellissima!!! After a wonderful trip to Florence and Pisa, I ordered this book. The book brings back all the wonderful imagery and tastes I so enjoyed during the visit. It is a perfect balance of the best and most memorable moments of a beautiful region of Italy. This is my third purchase in the series and I'm enjoying all of them!

I bought this book as a Christmas present for a friend who had recently returned from a trip to Tuscany. I was pleased with the size of the book, the amount of and quality of the pictures. I think it was a lovely cookbook.

Beautiful book. Excited to try the Ribollita!

Not as informative as Sicily in Cucina nor Calabria in Cucina. These latter two had more informative material on the area and better pictures of the area and food. But i did like the english beside the italian

very visual
