More About This Book

Overview

Famed for its bustling cities rich with art, history, and centuries-old traditions, as well as for its gently rolling landscapes filled with vineyards, cypress trees, and olive groves, Tuscany is one of the most popular regions in Italy. Mary Ann Esposito, host of the longest-running television cooking show, invites us to experience the tastes, smells, and traditions of this wonderful region, one delectable meal at time.

With eighty delicious recipes accompanied by anecdotes, travel essays, and cooking tips and techniques, this collection shares and explores the essence of Tuscan cooking. Cucina povera, country-style cooking, is the backbone of the Tuscan culinary heritage, and you'll see it in practice on an agricultural estate just outside of Siena, at a palazzino in the heart of Florence, at a popular restaurant in an industrial city, in medieval villages, and in the charming cities and towns across the region.

Simple, flavorful ingredients are transformed into authentic, mouth-watering dishes such as Scarola e Fagioli (Escarole and Beans), Pappa al Pomodoro (Tomato Bread Soup), Patate con Olio e Ramerino (Potatoes with Olive Oil and Rosemary), Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Grilled T-bone Steak), Gnocchi di Patate con Salsa di Pecorino e Panna (Potato Gnocchi with Pecorino Cream Sauce), Panforte, Ricciarelli di Siena (Siena-Style Almond Cookies), and much more.

Complete with information on mail-order sources, Web sites, and Tuscan restaurants, this celebration of the region of Tuscany is a tribute to the people practicing and preserving its rich culinary traditions.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Last year, Esposito, host of a long-running PBS series, explored another part of the "heart of Italy" (Ciao Italia in Umbria); this season, she's moved slightly north to the better-known region of Tuscany. She chose as her base a restored, centuries-old villa and farm not far from Siena, and several of the series episodes captured in this companion volume (e.g., "The Mindful Gardener" and "When Tuscan Women Cook") were filmed there. Other episodes include "Dinner in a Palazzo," "The Merchant of Prato's Biscuit," and similar culinary excursions, with recipes for regional specialties from Bistecca alla Fiorentina to Panforte. Buy for demand. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
