Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Rolled bresaola

    • Ezair92 on April 25, 2022

      Had this as an appetizer for Easter and everyone loved it

  • Baked pasta with sausage and four cheeses

    • chawkins on December 18, 2013

      Like the idea of the soffritto in the sauce, added fiber to the dish. I only used 1/2 lb of sweet italian sausage, but added two crushed dried red pepper. Used prosecco instead of red wine because that's what's I have. Also, used whole wheat penne. It is still very good after all the substitutions.

  • Ribollita

    • Riccardo on November 20, 2013

      Very good, basic ribollita recipe from which you could craft many variations depending on what the farmer's market has this week. I've seen more complicated recipes for Ribollita in other books. This recipe is no frills, classic.

  • Onion soup in the Arezzo style

    • Riccardo on November 20, 2013

      This recipe is outstanding! Very easy to make and great wintertime comfort food.

  • Short ribs, Tuscan style

    • sulp on July 19, 2015

Publishers Text

In all of Frances Mayes’s bestselling memoirs about Tuscany, food plays a starring role. This cuisine transports, comforts, entices, and speaks to the friendly, genuine, and improvisational spirit of Tuscan life. Both cooking and eating in Tuscany are natural pleasures. In her first-ever cookbook, Frances and her husband, Ed, share recipes that they have enjoyed over the years as honorary Tuscans: dishes prepared in a simple, traditional kitchen using robust, honest ingredients.
