North of Rome and in the area of Florence and Chianti lies the region called Tuscany. The food in Tuscany is enjoyed the world over for its fresh regional flavors and simple recipes. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Healthy Cooking
Also called Mediterranean, Tuscan cuisine is one of the healthiest styles for cooking. Cooks create dishes with a few basic and fresh ingredients.
Artisan Food
Tuscan cooking is about the true essence of the food. The Tuscan region is the home of exceptional olive oils, artisan cheeses and fresh meat. With these simple ingredients, you are able to bring out the nature flavors in a recipe.
Distinctive Wines
Tuscany encompasses the Chianti region, one of the finest wine-making areas of the world. It is the home of Sangiovese, Trebbiano and Malvasio wines, distinctive varietals popular in Italy.
Olive Oil
The olive oil made in Tuscany is as much a part of the meal as the entre and bread. Italians often soak their bread in olive oil with a touch of sea salt or a hint of balsamic vinegar as an appetizer. The soil conditions and temperate climate are ideal for growing olives.
Simplicity and Quality
No Tuscan meal is complete without fresh local and seasonal vegetables and herbs. Tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, basil and salt are a regional favorite. Garlic, artichokes and fennel are other common vegetables found in this cuisine.
