Synopsis
Medici is internationally renowned for her cookery classes in Tuscany. In this beautiful book she invites us into the kitchen and dining room of the medieval monastery which is both her home and headquarters for the school. From there she sets off on a series of visits to the villas, palaces and castles of her friends and relatives, giving us a privileged insight into the rebirth of Italian cooking which is taking place. Each chapter discusses the culinary delights of a different region of Italy and includes a wealth of delicious traditional recipes. The photographer, John Ferro Sims, travelled with Lorenza de'Medici capturing the beauty of the landscape and the elegance of classical Italian dishes in some innovative surroundings.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. John Ferro Sims -- Photography (illustrator). First Edition. The author has done much to promote the classical cooking tradition of Italy by gathering together as many recipes as possible from the homes of family and friends in 12 regions of Italy, and in each area she describes a landscape as well as local produce and culinary practices which contribute to the character of its cuisine, while her account of the preparation of the meal and the celebration itself, together with the outstanding photographs, provides a colourful glimpse of an Italian way of life rarely seen by visitors. The recipes are far cry from the glorified peasant cooking of the trattoria, and the secrets of this refined art have evolved over many centuries and have always been the preserve of family Cooks and matriarchs, with many of the recipes existing only in family cookbooks. The book is clean, there are no tears, and no writing, although I have seen two small spots that are possibly cooking stains. (They add character I suppose) Size: 4to 9¾" - 12" tall. 192 pages. please refer to accompanying picture (s). Illustrator: John Ferro Sims -- Photography. Quantity Available: 1.
