Average Rating:
 Rating:  - DreadfulI reviewed this book before and I can't believe the reviews I am reading now. I can only assume that most of these people don't cook! The recipes are convoluted and many of them don't work. If you are a serious cook you can tell just by reading them that she's got it wrong. Don't bother. Rating:  - 'The author shares her passion for the food of Tuscany in this rich and very personal collection of Italian recipes.'From the introduction:- `My aim in writing this book has been to share some of the delights that have been part of my life here. More than an informative guide, it outlines the basic goings-on taking place on stovetops in a place whose culinary fame is steadfastly rooted amongst the hills and within tradition.........Throughout the months of the year you will find the ingredients of Tuscany just as they become available to the Tuscans. In each month there are recipes for all the courses of an Italian meal - though as you will see in `The Italian Meal', even an Italian doesn't eat all the courses all the time......Although it is my belief that with good ingredients anyone can cook a good Tuscan meal, I recognise that not everyone ... Read More: Rating:  - One of my favourites, even though I'm a Vegetarian!I have book shelves lined with cookery books, most of which are vegetarian cook books & I love nothing more than to sit with a glass of wine & read recipes! Having absolutely fallen in love with the food of Tuscany whilst on my honeymoon last year I couldn't wait to try cooking something similar myself when I returned home. I picked up this book at Waitrose. Yes there are meat and fish recipes, but there are also many wonderful vegetarian recipes too. I haven't looked back & thanks to this book I would say that 70% of the cooking I now do is Tuscan inspired. I've gone on to try recipes of my own based on combinations I've learnt from Tessa Kiros. I tried out the plum jam and plum cake this weekend and wowed the family with the ... Read More: Rating: - SOOO GORGEOUS!If you are an Italian food lover this book is a must-have. Or even if you are not, it is still simply stunning! I love it and am so pleased that I have discovered Tessa! Mouth-watering, simplyeand just plain delicious. I just don't know what I did before Tessa. Rating: - a holiday at homeI saw this book on Amazon and couldnt believe that I had missed it in hardback. My Mother-in-law gave me Falling Cloudberries last Christmas and I loved it so much that I have given it as a present twice already. Twelve, also by Tessa Kiros is only about Italy this time but it is such a mouthwatering and evocative book to flick through I found myself sitting in my kitchen earlier on a rainy morning in London looking through this and feeling as it I have been on holiday. There is the most fantastic plum or nectarine cake that I can really recommend and as with Tessa's other book the recipes really work. |
