The freshest of Tuscan Ingredients
are the bases for all of our recipes. The Discover Tuscany recipe book takes into consideration season variations as well as the fun in preparing local specialities. Our recipes are rich in local cheeses, vegetables, spices and flavourings - all of which are easy to find at your local grocery store.
Chef Andrea says "The fun is making dishes that you can recreate at home for your friends and family while you tell them about your wonderful Tuscan vacation."
Our recipes use the fresh pressed extra virgin olive oil from Tuscany, wine aged in Tuscan cantinas and pecorino - sheep cheese. The spices that are most commonly used include rosemary and sage, fragrant and delicious these spices are found in most Tuscan recipes. The atmosphere is just as important as the ingredients. The Discover Tuscany Team has a delightful Tuscan villa overlooking the Florentine hills, vineyards and olive groves, where after a morning or afternoon of cooking in the kitchen you can sit outside with a glass of prosecco or Chianti red wine and enjoy the view.
