In a green and secret valley in Tuscany, life is firmly moulded by the past. Noting farm recipes calling for olive oil measured in wine glasses, Elizabeth Romer recounts the way of life folks in Tuscany have enjoyed for centuries. In winter they spin wool and cure quantities of prosciutto. In springtime the pecorino cheese is made, while in summer the farm is ripe with corn, pears, and sweet peas. Then, of course, comes autumn, the time for wine, the time of the harvest. The rhythm of life naturally follows the foods of the seasons.

Month by month, Romer details a year in the kitchen of the Cerotti family, where wonderful meals are prepared using fresh and simple ingredients. You shouldn't read this book without some good food and a bottle of wine nearby!
