4.0 out of 5 stars
Even includes some traditional Tuscan Recipes,
This review is from: A Taste of Tuscany (Eyewitness Travel Guide) (Paperback)
This guide divides Tuscany into six main areas. Each geographical area is based on the local produce and gastronomic traditions. It seems that if you are visiting Tuscany, one of the main reasons is going to be fore the cuisine. There is a focus on meats, cheese, olives and wine.
Areas Covered: Florence, Arezzo, Casentina, Lunigiana, Garfagnana, Versilia, Pisa, Livorno, Chianti, Siena, Montalcino, Sienese Crete, Maremma and Monte Amiata. There is a detailed description of the best times to visit, with a special section on the foods grown in various areas. I would suggest that this is more about food than anything else. There is a "Travelers' Needs" section which tells you where you can sleep before waking the next day to continue your journey into the land of food. So, if you want to find the best wines, olive oils, cured meats and cheeses, this might be the book you are looking for. ~The Rebecca Review
