 Rating: - Title says it all!I love this book. It's an unusual mixture, a hard book to categorise, but that's its stength. For many who come to Tuscany it's the perfect mixture as the great food and beautiful scenery combined are such a part of the pleasure. Beth Elon suggests driving routes with places to see along the way, then explains the food specialities of each area,lists special places to eat, then gives a few sample recipes from each restaurant. One of the real strengths is the local specialities information, as it really highlights some of traditions and how food can be unique to a particular small location not just 'Tuscany' as a larger region.

Beth Elon has produced the perfect combination for anyone like me. She combines simple day trip driving routes around the beautiful Tuscan countryside (with views to look at, churches to visit and villages to wander through) with incredible restaurants. She mixes expensive, grand restaurants with small, rustic ones where you will be the only foreigner but will feel welcomed as an honoured guest. In all the places that I ate in on my last trip I didn't have a singe bad meal in fact, given the chance I would go back and have every single one again and again. The only draw back ...

This winter, I changed this pattern and bought Beth Elon's book, Georgio Locatelli's amazing blockbuster, and River Cafe Cookbook Easy. A feast of Christmas reading. But my feelings of pride and happiness are for Beth's very personal approach. I hope that Locatelli and Gray/ Rogers will visit her. They will enjoy themselves with such a personable, beautiful woman in a very special location - and learn a lot too! There is an excellent B & B nearby. |
