My Tuscany: Recipes, Cuisine, Landscape - Softcover

Lorenza de'Medici has published more than thirty cookbooks worldwide and in several languages. She lives with her husband and their four children at Badia a Coltibuono, one of the most prestigious wine estates in Italy, deep in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine district. It is from here that Lorenza runs her famous cookery school, The Villa Table.

Blending personal narrative, regional recipes, and breathtaking photography, celebrated cook Lorenza de’Medici takes us on a journey, province by province, through her native Tuscany. Along the way, she offers marvelous depictions of the region’s towns and villages, anecdotal accounts of local customs, and tasting notes on local wines. Of course, lavish attention is given to the prodotti tipici—Tuscany’s culinary treasures, and there are 30 authentic recipes, all photographed in Lorenza’s own Siena kitchens. Enhanced with 120 color photos, a veritable feast for the eyes, this is a book for anyone who has ever visited Tuscany and fallen in love with its landscape, its food, and its people—or for those who simply love a culinary adventure. Lorenza de’Medici, author of 30 Italian cookbooks and former host of a popular PBS Television series, now runs the famous Tuscan cooking school The Villa Table at Badia a Coltibuono.
