 a holiday at home August 22, 2005

I saw this book on Amazon and couldnt believe that I had missed it in hardback. My Mother-in-law gave me Falling Cloudberries last Christmas and I loved it so much that I have given it as a present twice already. Twelve, also by Tessa Kiros is only about Italy this time but it is such a mouthwatering and evocative book to flick through I found myself sitting in my kitchen earlier on a rainy morning in London looking through this and feeling as it I have been on holiday. There is the most fantastic plum or nectarine cake that I can really recommend and as with Tessa's other book the recipes really work.
If you loved Falling Cloudberries, you will adore this book August 22, 2005

Falling Cloudberries is the first book of Tessa Kiros that I bought. When I saw she had written another one, I had high expectations because Falling Cloudberries is just one of those exceptional books - original, beautiful and personal. Twelve does not disappoint. Whereas Falling Cloudberries is a collection of recipes from all over the world, Twelve is all about Tuscan food. The pics of the countryside and her family together with the delicious Italian food make you want to hop on a plane to Italy straight away. The next best thing is to lose yourself in this magical book. If you thought like me, who needs another italian cookbook, take a look at this beautiful book and you will change your mind.
This is the best cookery book I've bought in years... December 16, 2002

The recipes presented are down-to-earth, and easily within the ability of cooks of any calibre. I liked the fact that this was obviously the food that would be on the average Tuscan table at any given day and that the recipes were economical of time and energy. This is not cookery with a list of ingredients that fills a page, but a few, simple, well-chosen items whose flavours come together to 'sing'.
Another plus is the way the book is organized. Original and completely logical. By month. It was lovely to read Ms. Kiros' introductions as to how the locals shop and what is available for that month and then go on to the recipe entries that typify the month in question. Beautiful book too - great photography - thoughtful text. A cookery book that's also a really good read.
