Title: Disappointing meanderings of Frances Mayes mind
Product review: Having read Frances Mayes "Under the Tuscan Sun" I eagerly anticipated reading her latest creation,vicariously wandering the countryside of Tuscany and enjoying Italian cuisine.Other than the enjoyable dust jacket of the book "Bella Tuscany" the book is a tremendous disappointment. I have doggedly read 203 pages and will finish Ms. Mayes metaphysical look at Italy, however,it has been more about her meandering mind than her wandering feet. I particularly missed the wonderful recipes that were interspersed throughout her first book. They all made my mouth water in anticipation of my next trip to Italy. These recipes were perfunctory and very unimaginative and left me with, not a deliciously sated feeling but hunger pangs.
