What is The Tuscan year about?

<i>The Tuscan Year</i> recounts the daily life and food preparation of a family living on a farm in Tuscany. Elizabeth Romer chronicles each season’s activities month by month: curing prosciutto and making salame in January, planting and cheesemaking in March, harvesting and threshing corn in July, hunting for wild muchrooms in September, and grape crushing in Ocober. Scattered throughout this lovely calendar are recipes—fresh bread and olive oil, grilled mushrooms, broad beans with ham, trout with fresh tomatoes and basil, chicken grilled with fresh sage and garlic, and apples baked with butter, sugar, and lemon peel, among many others. Alive with the rhythms of country tradition, <i>The Tuscan Year</i> is a treasure for the armchair traveler as well as the cook.<br> <p>This account of the year the author spent with a Northern Italian family chronicles farm life while providing enchanting glimpes into Tuscan culture and cuisine. </p>
