It’s May and that means it’s time to start planning or dreaming about summer travels. Tuscany is the ideal spot for a summer vacation, but if you can’t make it to there, Phaidon brings Tuscany to you in a new cookbook simply titled Tuscany.
50 recipes from the archives of The Silver Spoon kitchen are featured in this regionally focused cookbook. Using simple ingredients, the recipes in the book are accessible to everyone. Tuscany is not only a cookbook but also a journey. Each of the ten chapters, complete with photos, history and regional cooking methods, walks readers through a Tuscan province. (This online photo gallery is a great preview.) The soulful and hearty dishes like gnudi, Florentine-style tripe, and chestnut cake will take you to Tuscany by way of your own kitchen.
