Winter in Tuscany

Winter in Tuscany celebrates the region’s rich culinary and cultural traditions with a quanto basta approach—­the intuitive, Italian method of “just enough”—­and brings the heart of Tuscany’s cosy fall and wintry flavours to your kitchen.

But quanto basta is more than just a philosophy for cooking; it’s a metaphor for life. This book celebrates life in the offseason; an ode to exploring Tuscany’s villages and countryside when the crowds have thinned, allowing for a deeper, more intimate connection with the culture, food, and landscapes. In discovering treasures off the beaten path, Amber highlights the richness of exploring at a gentler pace, when Tuscany truly reveals itself.

The book is filled with an array of hyperlocal, traditional recipes for the home cook: from antipasti, zuppe—thick, hearty Tuscan soups—and brodo, brothy mains that bring comfort on colder days to rustic pasta, rice, and secondi—meat and vegetable dishes that celebrate the season.
