FOOD & WINE

"La cucina é una bricconcella..."

"The art of cookery is like a naughty child, who often drives you to distraction," wrote Pellegrino Artusi in the introduction to his cookbook, The Art of Eating Well. "However, it can also give great satisfaction, either when a dish is a success or when you master a skill. Then you feel pleased and cry out your victory."

Cookery is a vast subject. To keep this page of manageable size we have subdivided the index into:

Recipes & Ingredients

Tuscan fare, for all its simplicity, is quite sophisticated.

Wines & Spirits

There's more than just Chianti out there!

Enogastronomic Excursions

What can be better than discovering beautiful things and enjoying fine foods at the same time?
