Synopsis
The Tuscan Year recounts the daily life and food preparation of Elizabeth Romer's family in a valley between Umbria and Tuscany. She chronicles each season's activities, month by month. Scattered throughout this lovely calendar are recipes, informally and simply explained - fresh bread and olive oil, grilled mushrooms, broad beans with ham, and apples baked with butter, sugar and lemon peel are just a sampling. Alive with the rythms of country tradition, The Tuscan Year is a treasure for the armchair traveler as well as the cook.

Review
Month by month, Elizabeth Romer details a year in a Tuscan kitchen. Noting farm recipes calling for olive oil measured in wine glasses, Romer recounts the way of life folks in Tuscany have enjoyed for centuries. In winter they spin wool and cure quantities of prosciutto. In springtime the pecorino cheese is made, while in summer the farm is ripe with corn, pears, and sweet peas. Then, of course, comes autumn, the time for wine, the time of the harvest. The rhythm of life naturally follows the foods of the seasons. You shouldn't read it without some good food nearby.
