The entire gastronomical civilization of Tuscany enclosed in 80 recipes. This is not simply a cookbook, but an authentic glimpse into the culinary art and culture of this region—a voyage through images created especially for this volume by specialized photographers. There are traditional dishes, but also many recipes with creative touches, along with suggestions for food and local wine pairings. Review: Beautiful guide to and recipes for Tuscan cooking - I have spent a lot of time, and done a lot of eating, in Florence and Tuscany. "Toscana in Cucina: The Flavours of Tuscany" is one of the best cookbooks on Tuscan cuisine that I have seen, and I have seen a lot of them. The cuisine of Tuscany is very distinct from other parts of Italy, which are in turn very distinct from each other as well. There is a bias toward beef and pork in Tuscany as there is a bias toward seafood in Venice or pasta in Rome. I was very much impressed by both the book layout, the well selected photos of Florence and Tuscany, and by the authentic and well presented recipes. The recipes and choices of foods are spot on for traditional Tuscan cuisine. The book also includes a few fresh takes on modern Tuscan dishes. The text is in dual language Italian and English, side by side, so it's also a great learning tool for brushing up on your Italian for a visit. A lovely cookbook. RECOMMENDED. Review: After a wonderful trip to Florence and Pisa - Bellissima!!! After a wonderful trip to Florence and Pisa, I ordered this book. The book brings back all the wonderful imagery and tastes I so enjoyed during the visit. It is a perfect balance of the best and most memorable moments of a beautiful region of Italy. This is my third purchase in the series and I'm enjoying all of them!

These latter two had more informative material on the area and better pictures of the area and food
Not as informative as Sicily in Cucina nor Calabria in Cucina. These latter two had more informative material on the area and better pictures of the area and food. But i did like the english beside the italian

Molto bello!
Sono molto soddisfatta! Ho acquistato questo libro come regalo per una mia amica straniera, appassionata della cucina toscana, e devo dire che è rimasta davvero entusiasta. Le ricette sono presentate in entrambe le lingue e sono deliziose! Inoltre, le foto sono bellissime e la qualità della copertina è davvero ottima. Non posso che confermare il mio giudizio positivo!
