Markets of Tuscany - A Cookbook, at once a collection of traditional,
seasonal recipes and a guide to the area's top food markets, Giulia
takes readers on a journey through her beloved Tuscany, exploring famous
places but also more remote areas - from Florence's urban streets and
enchanting Volterra to mountainous Garfagnana and the wilds of
Lunigiana, the gentle rolling hills of Val d'Orcia, and the vineyards
and olive groves of Chianti. Through photographs, words and recipes,
Giulia tells the story of Florence's historic markets, local organic
farmers markets, and the weekly market days held in Tuscan towns and
villages. She also explores Tuscany's coastal fish and seafood markets,
together with the roadside vendors of the Maremma area, with their
vibrant fresh fruit and vegetable stands. With each encounter, Giulia
delves into the stories of Tuscany's food markets, drawing on memories
and recipes that taste of home. Contents: Introduction; Food markets in
