” Tuscany is a region of the soul. It is impossible to regard it as a simple geographical location, to be merely ”visited”. Tuscany must be felt, lived, loved.”
- Giorgio De Martino. At the heart of every Tuscan there is a pride for their region & an incredible sense of responsibility & love for their surroundings. From the minute they look out of their windows in the morning to the last nightcap at the bar, Tuscans, like most Italians, are immersed in food. In Tuscany, Katie & Giancarlo Caldesi take readers on a culinary journey through a Tuscan day. The pace of both life & cooking in Tuscany is slow & calm. Breakfasts are considered, lunch often eaten at home with family, & weekend dinners a feast. Try the Black Kale Bruschetta, a Farro, Courgette, Mint & Walnut Salad, & the Cheat`s Spaghetti with Clams. In Tuscany, there is a dolci (dessert) for every month of the year, & Katie & Giancarlo do not disappoint. Set against a backdrop of undulating hills, Tuscany takes you on a culinary journey across this diverse landscape, exploring the traditions & cooking techniques that make this food so extraordinary.
