This beautifully photographed book attempts to capture the simple elegance of Tuscan cooking.

This beautifully photographed book attempts to capture the simple elegance of Tuscan cooking. The dishes and flavor combinations are authentic, but it is often too commercial in its reference to Five Brothers pasta sauce. My exprience with this brand of jarred sauce is that it doesn't deliver the freshest Italian taste.

Buon appetito!
