From Nonna’s Cookbook: A Rustic Tuscan Cooking Experience

Experience the warmth and flavors of a traditional Tuscan Sunday lunch in a welcoming home where family recipes have been lovingly preserved for generations. You will be invited to explore cherished dishes from my mother’s recipe book, starting with the famous crostini topped with chicken liver pate, a classic appetizer that bursts with authentic Tuscan flavors. From there, the journey continues with gnudi, a delicate first course made with ricotta and spinach, showcasing the simplicity and elegance of Tuscan cuisine. Each dish is prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients, combining tradition, love, and culinary skill in every bite.

After the savory courses, the experience concludes with a sweet delight: Zuppa Inglese, a traditional dessert inspired by Artusi’s recipes, featuring a rich custard cream that will leave your palate satisfied. When the weather allows, guests can enjoy their meal outdoors in the garden, perhaps as the sun sets, accompanied by a glass of local wine and the cheerful company of friendly dogs. For those preferring vegetarian options, the menu can be adapted with seasonal vegetable starters and classic tiramisù for dessert. This immersive experience is perfect for anyone wishing to discover the true essence of Tuscan home cooking, create lasting memories, and delight in the flavors, aromas, and traditions that define this beloved region.
