They say: "tells the story of Tuscan cookery through 25 visual and written portraits of some of Tuscany's most extraordinary gastronomic and food related artisans"

We say: More than just a collection of attractive and do-able Italian recipes, Lori De Mori's evocative prose is brought to life by husband Jason Lowe's impressive photo journalism and gorgeous food photography. Foodies will appreciate the chapters on lardo and tripe, but there's plenty of pasta dishes and risotto's for the more casual lover of Italian food to enjoy.
