Summary: A book to transport you
Comment: I have owned this book for three years now and whenever I want to transport myself back to Tuscany and the green rolling hills of the Chianti countryside I just open this book. Maggie Beer and Stephanie Alexander are true legends of food and wine in Australia and their innate knowledge and love of their art shines through every page. This book was the result of the two cucina divas combining their talents to run a cooking school in Italy.
The hardcover volume is beautifully bound with superb photography. The narrative is flowing and friendly and makes you feel like you are in a conversation with the two whilst cleaning porcini mushrooms or sampling thin slices of prosciutto.
The recipes are explained clearly and are in keeping with the simplicity and freshness of true Italian cuisine. This is a book for lovers of Italian food but also for lovers of food based on fresh, seasonal produce. The recipes are not complicated and do not rely on long labourious hours in the kitchen. The Rotolo di Spinaci recipe has won me accolades every time I have made it. I recommend this book to anyone interested in true Tuscan cooking.
