This volume is a creative interplay of art and cooking, placing 46 gorgeous, full-color reproductions of still life art from the Medici collections beside the authentic Tuscan recipes which they inspire. For example, near Bartolomeo Bimbi's picture of "Plums" we find the recipe for
Petto di Tacchino Farcito alle Prugne (Turkey Breast with Prune Stuffing), and beside Giovanna Garzoni's "Plate with Cherries" we find the recipe for
Torta di Ciliegie (Cherry Tart). This beautiful book contains 128 recipes, including Antipasti, First Courses, Main Courses, Side Dishes and Vegetables, Desserts, Sauces, and Preserves and Jams. Whether your taste runs to game dishes or seafood, or pasta to soup, this unique cookbook has something to please every palate. Authors Carla Geri Camporesi and Barbara Golini - both native Tuscans - combine their shared passions for gastronomy and art in this elegant and unique collection. A perfect gift for the Italian cook - an EyeItalia exclusive.
