Tuscan Year Life and Food in an Italian Valley

"In sumptuous detail, writer Elizabeth Romer takes you to the heart of Tuscany--through its towns, past the pastures and straight into the kitchen. Month by month, she chronicles life in rural Tuscany based on the type of food one family eats, journeying from the slaughter of animals in winter to the harvesting of corn in summer. She gives you the bare essences of Tuscany, so real that you can almost taste and smell the mortadella, parsley and garlic stuffed in the fiori di zucchini ripieni, and the savory blend of prosciutto and cantaloupe when eaten together."Romer, Elizabeth is the author of 'Tuscan Year Life and Food in an Italian Valley', published 1996 under ISBN 9780865473874 and ISBN 0865473870.
