Book Review by MidWest Book Review: From Tuscany with Love



AN EXTRAORDINARY READ FROM START TO FINISH

Says MidWest Book Review of From Tuscany with Love by Lauretta Avina: 

A fascinating combination of cookbook and memoir, From Tuscany with Love is an extraordinary read from start to finish. The recipes are as authentic as Lauretta Avina's life lessons learned as she relates her personal life story and the role that family ethnicity and Tuscan approach to food played in that story. The recipes are 'kitchen cook friendly' in organization and presentation, the life story parts and eloquent and emotionally engaging. The result is the Laurette Avina memoir, From Tuscany With Love is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal and community library Biography/Memoir and Ethnic Cookbook/Italian collections.
