A Thousand Days in Tuscany

As soon as once more, it was love at first sight. Love for the timeless countryside and the traditional village of San Casciano dei Bagni, for the native classic and the magnificent cooking, for the Tuscan sky and the pleasant church bells. Love particularly for previous Barlozzo, the village mago, who escorts the newcomers to Tuscany’s seasonal festivals; offers them roasted nation bread drizzled with just-pressed olive oil; invitations them to collect chestnuts, harvest grapes, hunt truffles; and teaches them to caress the easy pleasures of every valuable day. It’s Barlozzo who guides them throughout the minefields of village historical past and into the nice and cozy and fiercely beating coronary heart of affection itself.

A Thousand Days in Tuscany is about in some of the stunning locations on earth–and tucked into its aromatic corners are luscious recipes (together with one for the one true bruschetta) straight from the writer’s personal assortment.
