For cooks and travelers who appreciate the gusto and beauty of Italian life, and for readers of the bestselling phenomenon Under the Tuscan Sun, Frances Mayes's The Tuscan Sun Cookbook celebrates the ease of the Tuscan kitchen and the joys of the table with more than 125 recipes, stunning food and lifestyle photography, and Frances and Ed's delicious stories, all revealing why the Italians know how to eat like to eat like the gods.

Tuscan food is, above all, genuino. Frances Mayes and her husband, Ed, welcome readers to Bramasole, their home in the Tuscan countryside, introduce their friends, and share recipes that they have enjoyed as honorary Tuscans. With 150 color photos of garden-fresh produce and evocative scenery, these from-the-heart-of-Tuscany recipes highlight a secret ingredient: the pleasure of the simple, traditional kitchen. Home cooks will soon be able to pour a glass of wine, throw on another handful of pasta, pull up a chair, and languish in the rustic Italian way of life.
