About this product
Product Information
Frances Mayes - widely published poet, gourmet cook and travel writer - opens the door on a wondrous new world when she buys and restores an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside. She finds faded frescoes beneath the whitewash in the dining room, a vineyard under wildly overgrown brambles - and even a wayward scorpion under her pillow. And from her traditional kitchen and simple garden she creates dozens of delicious seasonal recipes, all included in this book. In the vibrant local markets and neighbouring hill towns, the author explores the nuances of the Italian landscape, history and cuisine. Each adventure yields delightful surprises - the perfect panettone, an unforgettable wine, or painted Etruscan tombs. Doing for Tuscany what Peter Mayle did for Provence, Mayes writes about the tastes and pleasures of a foreign country with gusto and passion. A celebration of the extraordinary quality of life in Tuscany, UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN is a feast for all the senses.Product Identifiers

Middle Class Nonsense - but readable
Wealthy Americans in fairly cultured Tuscany; what's not to like? Well, quite a bit really. I couldn't warm to the author who uses pretension disguised as narrative, but in fairness pretty readable for all that. Her life moves from idyllic moment to idyllic moment with all problems solved by wonderful people all along the way. Oh please! However as a summer read it's not all bad and an easy way to chill and marvel at another person's smooth path through life, untroubled by most normal people's trials and traumas.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
