In 1972 Elizabeth Romer moved to a farmhouse in Tuscany, where she
discovered a life moulded by the past and tasted the simple, sublime
flavours of traditional Italian cooking for the first time. Here,
she introduces the Cerotti family who farm one section of the valley,
and vividly describes, month by month, the Tuscan year. From January's
prosciutto and salame, to cheese-making in March, to threshing the corn
in high summer, to the game and chanterelles of autumn, and the chestnut
woods of November and December.
In the heart of the Cerotti
household wonderful meals are prepared using fresh and simple
ingredients, governed by the rhythms of the changing seasons. Elizabeth
Romer presents the fare for high days and holidays as well as every day,
from fresh garlic and wild herbs to fried flowers and carnival cakes.
This magical book reveals the secrets of an ancient way of life and
cuisine, with dozens of delicious recipes to bring the flavour of
Tuscany to any kitchen.
