Winter In Tuscany Recipe Book by Amber Guinness

Winter in Tuscany celebrates rich culinary and cultural traditions with a quanto basta approach – the intuitive, Italian method of ‘just enough’ – & brings the heart of Tuscany’s cosy autumnal and wintry flavours to your kitchen. But quanto basta is more than just a philosophy for cooking; it’s a metaphor for life. This book celebrates life in the off-season; an ode to exploring Tuscany’s villages and countryside when the crowds have thinned, allowing for a deeper, more intimate connection with the culture, food & landscapes. There are charming suggestions for pottering around Florence & Siena, and smoothly delivered snippets of history & art. But most of all, this book is about the recipes. An artichoke omelette, chicken liver pate crostini, a lentil and sausage stew, the most delicious bistecca fiorentina & the ultimate green salad. Filled with an array of hyper-local, traditional recipes for the home cook, Winter in Tuscany is an invitation to slow down and appreciate the beauty in small moments & big flavours.
