Somewhere South of Tuscany is a feet on the ground, boots-in-the-mud account of living and cooking in a beautiful hilltop village set in the spectacular Italian countryside between Tuscany and Umbria. After only one brief visit, Diana and her husband buy an ancient stone house right in the historic center of town. It has been carved out of a 400-year-old abandoned monastery. Disasters and discoveries abound. Somewhere South of Tuscany is a simpatico and humorous look at real life in an Italian Medieval village where most families live in the homes of their ancestors. Many neighbors are survivors of World War II and attitudes here have gone unchanged for generations. Diana's book includes her delicious recipes adapted in her ancient kitchen from the traditional dishes of Tuscany and Umbria. Once again, just as they have done for centuries, aromas of rosemary, sage, porcini, and truffles rise and fill the old stone kitchen. Diana G Armstrong is an award-winning food and travel writer and cookbook author. Born and raised in South Africa, she now lives in Denver, Colorado. She maintains a second home in Italy, which enables her to indulge her particular love of the life, food, and people of rural Italy.
