In Tuscany by Frances Mayes

A lavish, photo-rich love letter to Tuscan life

Good condition, slight spine separation as shown. 

From Frances Mayes, the bestselling author of Under the Tuscan Sun, comes a beautifully illustrated celebration of Tuscany's food, landscapes, art and everyday rituals. Organised into sections on the piazza, the harvest, the kitchen, celebrations and the region's natural beauty, the book combines Mayes's essays with a chapter by her poet husband Edward and over 200 full-colour photographs by Bob Krist. Part memoir, part travel guide, part cookbook (it includes 25 recipes drawn from Tuscan tradition), it's an immersive, sensory tribute to a region and lifestyle Mayes has spent decades writing about with genuine affection.
