    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)

    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

    This recipe, Pelliccia’s Stew, was created to deliver a flavorful and affordable dish. The meat used is an inexpensive cut, while the potatoes—being more abundant than the meat—become irresistibly tasty as they absorb the rich flavors of the stew. It’s a perfect example of simple ingredients coming together to create a satisfying, budget-friendly meal.

  • Potato Tortelli Mugello-Style

    (Leave a review)

    I love Italian food because even though we use the same simple ingredients, there are endless ways to combine them! ❤️
    Every family, neighborhood, and village has its own twist on traditional recipes, creating a delicious variety of dishes.

    In Florence, our favorite type of ravioli is filled with mashed potatoes and called “Tortelli”. The creamy potato filling pairs perfectly with a rich meat ragù, making it an iconic and satisfying combo.

    Personally, I like to make “Tortelli” the way they do in Firenzuola—small and delicate. After all, as we say, “Good things come in small packages!” 🍷✨
