Description

Winter in Tuscany celebrates rich culinary and cultural traditions with a quanto basta approach - the intuitive, Italian method of 'just enough' - and 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 and landscapes. 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 and big flavours.

Reviews

'I find winter cooking therapeutic and relaxing, so this book had me gripped before I even opened it. Inside it's full to bursting with delicious and visually beautiful recipes and stunning imagery of Tuscany in the winter months. I want to cook everything and, I hate to say it, but: roll on the winter' - Ben Tish
