A toast to the experiences they\'ve had over two decades at Bramasole, their home in Cortona, Italy, this cookbook evokes days spent roaming the countryside for chestnuts, green almonds, blackberries, and porcini; dinner parties stretching into the wee hours, and garden baskets tumbling over with bright red tomatoes.
In her first-ever cookbook, Frances and her husband, Ed, share Recipes that they have enjoyed over the years as honorary Tuscans: dishes prepared in a simple, traditional Kitchen using robust, honest ingredients.
Both cooking and eating in Tuscany are natural pleasures.
This cuisine transports, comforts, entices, and speaks to the friendly, genuine, and improvisational spirit of Tuscan life. --from the Introduction In all of Frances Mayes\'s bestselling memoirs about Tuscany, food plays a starring role.
Italian Philosophy 101: la casa aperta, the open house.
Four double doors along the front of the house open to the outside--so handy for serving at a long table under the stars (or for cooling a scorched pan on the stone wall).
We\'ll have as much fun setting the table as we have in the kitchen.
We\'ll start with primo ingredients, a little flurry of activity, perhaps a glass of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and soon we\'ll be carrying platters out the door.
So, if on your visit, I hand you an apron, your work will be easy. . . .
Ingredients are left to shine.
Tuscan food tastes like itself.
