My Tuscan Kitchen offers an innovative approach to Tuscan cookery seen through a traditional but creative heart. An explosion of colours accompanies the following chapters featuring different types of starters , “crostini, bruschette”, grains or beans salads. A more technical chapter – “Chopping very very finely” – follows. This fundamental section represents the revolutionary key of this book as it gives the reader the tools for creating their own original recipes with meat, fish, and vegetables through the cunning use of “battuti”. The chapter dedicated to the family recipes is the author ’s most intimate part of the book. At the end of the book he suggest a series of menus and buffets. The reader will always feel at ease during the cooking experience thanks to the perception of being accompanied throughout this marvellous journey.
