In Italy, there is no such thing as Italian food, rather there are local cookery traditions. When in Rome, therefore, you will be given Roman food, whereas in Florence, you will be served local Tuscan dishes.
The 'Tuscany' title in the 'Flavours Of Italy' series features delicious recipes for antipasti, first courses, main dishes, vegetables and desserts. From crostini and ravioli to mixed fish stew, Tuscan roast lamb, fried courgette flowers and dried fruit and nut cake, there are dishes here to tempt us all. Thematic spreads on olive oil, salume, local festivals, Tuscan wine and the food of the Florentine Renaissance, among others, bring alive the history and traditions of what is arguably Italy's greatest cuisine.
