  Tessa Kiros was born in London to a Finnish mother and a Greek-Cypriot father. The family moved to South Africa when she was four and, at the age of 18, Tessa set off to travel and learn all she could about the world's cultures and traditions, and new ways of living and eating. She has cooked at London's The Groucho Club and in Sydney, Athens and Mexico. On a trip to Italy to study the language and food she met her husband, Giovanni, and now lives in Tuscany. Twelve, her first book, is a celebration of the beautiful, soul-satisfying foods of that region.

  This personal cookbook reflects the Siena-based author's love of the cuisine of her adopted homeland. Its title refers to the seasonal nature of the recipes within, with the chapters being divided into the 12 months of the year. It is about the food of Tuscany, seasonal cooking and fine ingredients. It is the author's aim in this book to share some of the delights that have been part of her life in Italy: more than an informative guide, it outlines the basic goings-on that occur on Tuscan stove tops, in a region whose culinary fame is steadfastly rooted among the hills and within tradition. With exquisite photos of Tuscany and her family and neighbours, this books aims to entice and inspire the reader to live the Tuscan life.
