Reviews"Cuts through the mist and mystification that other authors have allowed to shroud Tuscan food."-Wall Street Journal"It is one of the most interesting I have read about the enjoyment of cooking."-Chuck Williams in Williams-Sonoma Taste magazine"The instructions are precise and extensive. . . . Great artwork aside, this is a fine book to cook from if you are interested not just in compiling recipes, but in learning techniques."-New York Daily News"Vitali is living her life with great spirit, and we get to watch her, and to share."-Houston Chronicle "It has the makings of a classic in regional cuisine. . . . Give this book, and give it selfishly, to a cook whose meals you expect to share frequently."-Tennessee Advocate"Vitali's cookbook is a feast for all our senses."-El Paso Times"The most beautiful and, yes, luscious, of these is a new book, SOFFRITTO. The photographs are glorious and so are the recipesâ€¦The book is as close to Tuscany as it is possible to get without actually going there."-Vallejo Times-Herald"A delightful synthesis of contemplation and cuisine, of recipes from and reflections upon earthy Tuscan cooking, this cookbook is a quiet stunner." -Wichita Register "Vitali has a unique style, guiding her readers step by step through the recipes and offering up her philosophy on cooking and life with sensitivity and wit. Highly recommended."-Library Journal"One of Florence's most deservedly celebrated restaurants, everything served at CibrÃˆo is more than good and interesting; it touches a chord so that you begin to think you must have been Tuscan in a previous life. And every recipe has a story."-New York Times
