Fabulous!!!

The best cookbook I've ever bought! Every recipe has been great and easy to follow. They are also very healthy and delicious. I just moved on to the Mexico book from the same series and made a "killer" Fish Veracruz. I highly recommend both these books!! I feel like I've gone from a "clueless" everyday cook to a gourmet!

Tuscany the Beautiful Cookbook

The photographs and historical narratives are very good. The recipes are not complex. The recipes just don't appeal to me and I highly doubt that I will ever make anything from the book. It is more or less a great photo-tour-guide of Tuscany will be practical on the coffee table.

for the coffee table, not the kitchen

I got this as a gift from my son, since I had just visited Tuscany last year and loved the food. I am an experienced gourmet cook. This book needed a test kitchen in the worst way. I tried two recipes: one for polenta (as basic as pasta) and a Garbanzo bean bread. The proportions for both were totally wrong. The polenta balled up in the pan, and the "flat bread" was like a soft egg dish. I checked in one of my favorite chef cookbooks (Sheila Lukins of Silver Palate fame) and the proportions were very different for the polenta. the other recipe couldn't find anywhere. I'm donating this one to the library for the Friends of the Library sale.
