  • Hand-Rolled Pici – Traditional Tuscan Recipe

    60 mins.
    (Leave a review)

    Pici are one of Tuscany’s most ancient and beloved pastas — simple, rustic, and made entirely by hand. With just flour, water, and a bit of patience, you create long, thick strands that perfectly capture rich sauces like aglione, cacio e pepe, or toasted breadcrumbs. Rolling pici is not just cooking — it’s a moment of tradition, rhythm, and love passed down through generations.

    This tart brings together two of my favorite worlds: the soft, rich elegance of French crème brûlée, and the rustic charm of an Italian tart.
    Perfect for a refined dessert or a special occasion — and yes, that crackling sugar crust is absolutely essential. 🔥

  • Ravioli filled with ricotta and pecorino cheese with onion cream and crispy pancetta

    35 min. excluded making the ravioli
    (Leave a review)

    Delicate ricotta-and-pecorino ravioli rest on a silky onion cream, crowned with shards of crispy pancetta. The onions are gently sweated until meltingly soft, then passed through a food mill for a velvety sauce that clings to the pasta. Finished with grated Pecorino Romano and cracked black pepper, it’s a comforting yet elegant first course.

    Cantucci di Prato are probably the most popular biscuits in Florence.
    For those who do not know them, they are not breakfast biscuits, they are dessert biscuits to dip in Vinsanto (Tuscan sweet wine).
    I always like to keep them at home in case I have a little hunger at the end of the dinner.

  • Carciofata alla toscana (Tuscan-Style Artichoke Stew)

    40 mins.
    (Leave a review)

    Flowers are beautiful, but if you really want to give me flowers… make them artichokes! 🌿💚

    Artichokes are a staple on my winter table, but at €1 each, they can be quite pricey. That’s where Tuscan creativity comes in! The Carciofata is the perfect solution: by adding stewed potatoes, you get a delicious, hearty dish that enhances the artichokes while keeping it budget-friendly. A simple yet genius combo! 🥔✨

    Wild bores are even too common in our woods… they can be dangerous as well.
    For sure they are innocuous when served with pappardelle
