A beautifully photographed harcover cookbook by Australian-born writer and photographer Emiko Davies that explores the cuisine of southern Tuscany.
Emiko has lovingly compiled and adapted her Italian family’s best-loved recipes from Capalbio, Monte Argentario, Giglio Island and inland to the hot springs of Saturnia and the ancient Pitigliano.
Explore local ingredients and the history of rustic dishes including scampi and potato soup, hand-rolled strozzapreti noodles, spinach and ricotta tortelli, chestnut gnocchi and the classic fig and chocolate bread, pagnotella. Plus, of course, the book’s namesake acquacotta, a quintessential Maremman peasant dish.
It includes a vegetarian and gluten-free index that highlights a different side to Italian cuisine.
