Under the Tuscan Sun: 20th-Anniversary Edition by Frances Mayes
2.0
Yawn.
Half of this is recipes. Under the Tuscan Sun is fairly known and well reviewed... I didn't realize cookbook, sort of.
The other half was a real estate guide, and a renovation guide, and then a tour guide of Tuscany. I mean, really?
All this intertwined with sappy statments in the fashion of Eat Pray Love. Yuck.
It was well written all right, and I can see the appeal for some people. For me, when I want a recipe, I'll reach for an actual cookbook, thank you. Mark Bittman, anyone? Tuscany? Been there, done that, so tour guide is not required. And as far as real estate goes, I need a catalog with pictures and numbers, and then prefer to see the place, and have actual interest in purchasing. Otherwise, it's a moot point.
I guess I should have known better than to reach for this book.
Well now I know better, I guess... Sigh
