  The table around which family and friends gather to eat and celebrate is central to virtually every culture, not only in terms of the cuisine which is enjoyed there, but because of the unique atmosphere which can be evoked by a simple choice of tableware or a way of serving food. This book is one of a series, which takes as its subject areas of the world which are rich in their cuisine and in the power to evoke a whole way of living. Taking the table itself as the starting point, the book looks at the elements which make up the atmosphere of a table in Tuscany - from tableware and glass to cutlery and flowers. It then moves on to a range of recipes for every occasion. It includes recipes for salads and grills for alfresco dining; stews for congenial winter evenings; and other ideas for the Tuscan larder.
