From the bestselling author whose memoirs Under the Sun and Bella Tuscany have captured the voluptuousness of Italian life comes a lavishly illustrated ode to the joys of Tuscany's people, food, landscapes, and art. In Tuscany celebrates the abundant pleasures of life in Italy as it is lived at home, at festivals, feasts, restaurants and markets, in the kitchen and on the piazza, in the vineyards, fields, and olive groves. Combining all-new essays by Frances Mayes and a chapter by her husband, poet Edward Mayes, with more than 200 full-color photos by photographer Bob Krist, each of this book's five sections highlights a signature aspect of Tuscan life:
La Piazza--the locus of Italian village life. With photgraphs of the shop signs, the outdoor markets, medieval streets, people, their pets and their cars, and snippets of conversations overheard, Mayes reveals the life of the Piazza in her town of Cortona as well as out-of-the-way places such as Volterra, Asciano, Monte San Savino, and Castelmuzio.
La Festa--the celebration. Essays and photos of feasts and celebrations, such as the Christmas dinner for twenty-seven at a neighbor's house and a donkey race around the church at Montepulciano Stazione, illustrate how the Tuscans celebrate the seasons--their open ways of friendship, their connection to nature, and most of all, their sense of abundance.
Il Campo--the field. Here Edward Mayes evokes the deep sense of the shift of seasons as he picks olives before he and Frances head off to the olive oil mill and enjoy the first bruscette with new oil.
La Cucina--the kitchen. An intimate view of the all-important role of the kitchen in Tuscan culture, including photographs of her own kitchen and gardens, menus from great local cooks, the elements of the Tuscan table, dishes with cultural and culinary notes on each, and, of course, delectable recipes.
La Bellezza--the beauty. From the quality of the light falling on sublime landscapes in different seasons and Tuscan faces in moments of laughter to a silhouette of cypress trees in the early evening and a wild bird perched on a neigbor's head, In Tuscany features views of beauty that reveal the singular splendor of one of the world's best-loved and most artistic regions.
For readers of Frances Mayes's bestselling phenomenon "Under the
Tuscan Sun" comes "The Tuscan Sun Cookbook," in which Mayes and her
husband Ed celebrate the ease of the Tuscan kitchen and the joys of
the table with more than 125 recipes, stunning food and lifestyle
photography, and Frances and Ed's delicious stories.

This genealogy of the Southern branch of the Longstreet family with
it related lines by Edward Mayes provides a unique view of the
relationships which produced such prominent figures like William
Longstreet, the inventor, Confederate General James Longstreet,
Lee's "Old Warhorse," and the Rev. A. B. Longstreet, judge,
legislator, author and educator. There are also a few lesser known
names like Daniel Longstreet the Continental Marine, Gilbert
Longstreet, a "Son of Texas," and James C. Longstreet, Judge and
Chancellor of the Univ. of Mississippi. While the text reveals an
interesting lineup of notable related individuals like Thomas
Blossom, who came over on the Mayflower, and Supreme Court Justice
L.Q.C. Lamar, the story's main focus is on the Longstreet line as
it passes from the immigrant ancestor through Judge Longstreet and
the events which center on his family and life. Along the way,
Mayes expounds in great detail on early Dutch life in New York and
New Jersey. The Longstreet manuscript contains numerous footnotes
(converted to endnotes), several interesting appendices, and a very
convenient index. If you are just starting your research and think
you may be related to someone in this family, or if you are a more
advanced researcher taking a more detailed look at the interrelated
families, this book is a simple and convenient place to research
your line.
