Cooking workshop The Tuscan cuisine 2 Nov. 2019

Description

This Tuscan cooking workshop shows us why the Tuscan cuisine is so loved: because of her simplicity and amazing tastiness. We prepare two types of crostini (green ones with a tangy herbal pesto and red ones with a spicy tomato and beans cream), crespelle alla fiorentina (thin crêpes stuffed with ricotta and spinach in tomato sauce), a rich panzanella salad with lots of fresh vegetables, stewed fennel and red onions with olives and white wine, two of the most iconic cookies, cantuccini (crunchy cookies from Prato) and ricciarelli (soft and sweet almond cookies from Siena) and the famous torta della nonna, a creamy, custardy tart with pine-nuts, served with a glass of Vin Santo (Tuscan dessert wine).

This is one of the many cookery classes taught in Amsterdam by renowned Italian cooking school La Cucina del Sole.
