Im September 1997 leiteten die australischen Köchinnen Stephanie Alexander und Maggie Beer drei aufeinanderfolgende Kochkurse. Zwei Monate lang lebten sie im Herzen der Toskana in einem zwischen Weinbergen und Feldern verborgenen Landhaus südlich von Siena. Ihre intensive Beschäftigung mit den kulinarischen Traditionen der Toskana spiegelt sich in den hier vorgestellten Rezepten wider. Die Grundlagen der toskanischen Küche bilden Olivenöl, Brot, Tomaten und Wein sowie ein offenes Grillfeuer. Durch die Zugabe frischer Zutaten werden die schlichten Gerichte noch verfeinert. Ob nun Feigen in Weinblättern, Rühreier mit Trüffeln, Nudeln mit Zucchiniblüten oder Wachteln im Traubenbad - die Rezeptkreation ist stets abhängig von der Jahreszeit, denn nur was erntefrisch ist, wird auf den Märkten angeboten und in der Küche verwertet. In der frische der Zutaten und in ihren jahreszeitlich bedingten Kombinationsmöglichkeiten liegt das ganze Geheimnis der toskanischen Küche. Die Rezepte der Autori nnen werden umrahmt von den Fotos Simon Griffiths'. Sie fangen nicht nur die Schlichtheit der Gerichte ein, sondern auch den Zauber der Landschaft und ihrer Menschen.
