highly recommended

Frances Mayes became a worldwide bestselling author with her wonderfully evocative books, Under the Tuscan Sun and Bella Tuscany. With these books, her readers were drawn into a magical world where two intrepid travellers came to a region in Italy, fell in love with it and did what we all dream of. They brought and renovated a splendid Tuscan house and the book chronicles the trials, the tribulations, the joys and disappointments of becoming Tuscan. In this book, with its superb photography by award-winning photographer Bob Krist, the reader can, for the first time, see what the house garden, surrounding countryside markets and friends really look like. With text equally as captivating a the original books, this is essential reading for every Mayes's fan.

Fantastic Book

This book is exactly what we wanted. We have lived in Europe for 7 of the last 9 years and LOVE Italy. We plan to purchase a house there soon and have decorated with all things Italian. This coffee table book was just the ticket. Beautiful pictures and food too!

Captures the area wonderfully!

We visited the area this past summer and stayed in Cortona for three nights, visiting many of the same places that Ms. Mayes covers. We were on a small culinary & walking tour of various hill towns called Taste of Tuscany from www.classicjourneys.com - (highly recommend it!)

We walked by her home, Bramasole, and wished we could stop in for a visit. Reading her books makes her feel like a friend. They also inspire me to go back and stay. This is such a wonderful book with its fantastic photographs that its like my own personal memoir. I love the recipes as they capture our trip even more so.

I plan to buy additional copies of the book and send it to my trip-mates for Christmas so that they can enjoy our trip over again through this book.

Thank you Frances and Ed!

Worth every cent!

I have read the other Frances Mayes books on Tuscany, "Under the Tuscan Sun" and "Bella Tuscany". This book is the perfect complement to those works as it portrays the very essence of what Mayes finds so appealing and charming about life in Tuscany. The pictures are gorgeous and recipes she includes are easy to prepare and delightful to behold. I recently gave a copy of this book to a friend who had just returned from the area and she felt it captured the essence of the place.

In Tuscany.

This is another of Francis Mayes books that I have thoroghly enjoyed. I am a bit prejudiced, thought, in that my daughter married and established her family in Florence, Italy, and I have been so very fortunate to have visited and traveled there often in the last eight years. Florence, Cortona and Tuscany in general are so beautiful, and the people have made my family feel so welcome.
