Accompanying a new BBC2 cookery series, Giancarlo and Katie Caldesi, the husband and wife team behind two successful contemporary Italian restaurants in London, return to Giancarlo's culinary roots to set up a cookery school in his native Tuscany.

Each chapter follows the progress of the cookery course as Giancarlo teaches the students the secrets of traditional Tuscan food, from simple, tasty antipasti and soups such as Zuppa di Pane e Pomodoro (Tomato and Bread soup), to more ambitious dishes such as Stuffed lamb cutlets.

Packed with 80 inspiring regional recipes, including all those from the series, Giancarlo passes on methods and recipes used by generations of the Caldesi family, creating a unique and easy-to-follow cookery book.

Return to Tuscany is illustrated throughout with beautiful location shots and food photography and each chapter begins with an inspirational introduction on the culture and traditions of Tuscan cooking.

Giancarlo and Katie's passion for Tuscan cuisine and authentic recipes will encourage every aspiring cook to create Tuscany's wonderful regional dishes for themselves.
