Under the Tuscan Sun

Frances Mayes--widely published poet, gourmet cook, and travel writer--opens the door on a wondrous new world when she buys an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside. She finds faded frescoes beneath the whitewash in the dining room, a vineyard under the wildly overgrown brambles--and even a wayward scorpian under her pillow. And from her traditional kitchen and simple garden she creates dozens of delicious seasonal recipes, all included in this volume.
