Return To Tuscany: Recipes From A Tuscan Cookery School

Giancarlo and Katie Caldesi, the team behind two of London's most popular Tuscan restaurants, decided to relocate to Tuscany for a few months to rediscover Giancarlo's culinary roots and run a series of courses in traditional Tuscan cooking. "Return to Tuscany" is a delightful record of their sojourn. Each chapter begins with a lesson, echoing the different stages of their cooking course, guiding you through the basic techniques of making pasta, assembling an antipasti platter, cooking meat on an open fire, and baking your own focaccia. In 80 regional recipes--from Jam Crostata and Pici with Arrabiata Sauce to Chicken with Cinnamon and Lemon--Giancarlo and Katie reveal methods passed down through generations of the Caldesi family.
