Tuscan Summer
From under the Tuscan sun to over the Tuscan stove!
In a fairy tale landscape with hill after hill flanked by slender dark lines of cypress trees, lies Tuscany, if not the most classic Italian region, at least one of the most renowned. The cuisine is a mixture of sophisticated simplicity and country-type cooking. Here, legumes, bread, cheese, olive oil and fresh fruit and vegetables dominate the menu. In spite of the fact that the ingredients are so modest, no one would describe Tuscan cuisine as plain, or even boring, for the patience and skill of the cooks are legendary. |
