Tuscany is home to Florence, the Renaissance, stunning landscapes, great wines - and food. Simple, slow cooked, made with the finest ingredients, locally sourced. Maite and Marie collect 30 traditional recipes, combined with 40 of Mau's delicious photographs, and published at an affordable price. Now the best of Tuscan food is within easy reach of any home cook. AUTHORS: Although they attended the same grammar school in Italy, Maria Teresa di Marco (Maite) and Marie Cécile Ferré (Marie) met many years later in Paris. They came together over their love of food and together write the popular Italian cooking blog La Cucina di Calyanthus. The two have collaborated on successful cookbooks published by Italian publisher Tommasi, now translated into many languages. ACC is pleased to offer two of them for the first time in English, and to introduce Maite and Marie to cooks and food lovers throughout No. America. Each book is illustrated with gorgeous colour photography by their comrade Maruizio Maurizi (Mau). SELLING POINTS: ?
