I took a chance on this and it paid off. Every description of this book I have read neglects to mention what I was hoping for... that it is simply Mediterranean the Beautiful Cookbook and Tuscany the Beautiful Cookbook combined into one (huge) book. Recipes are great like the rest of the series. I am very happy with this used book purchase.

I bought this book on Amazon after someone "borrowed" my first one and never gave it back - that should tell you everything you need to know right there. It's a beautiful large book filled with so many recipes it may take you a lifetime to get through it. The pictures are all very artistic, and I appreciate that nearly all if not all of the recipes are pictured (unlike some cookbooks where there's only pictures of one or two recipes per chapter). If you cook a lot like I do you will love the variety and ease of the recipes (there are some more complex recipes as well - something for everyone). If you don't cook, this book still makes a great coffee table piece, and maybe you'll be inspired to try out the kitchen a little more :)

I did not realize how large this cookbook is and it would not fit into my kitchen library. When I asked to return the book SOluni told me they would charge me 20% to restock. This was not advertised nor did they have the size and dimensions of the book. I have two other books from the same collection and they are smaller. If I pay for the postage how much can it cost to put back on their shelf? I wonder if this is Amazon's policy, too.

This cookbook makes a wonderful gift. I have one and have just purchased two more to give as gifts. Each book was around $10 with purchase, shipping and tax. What a bargain!
