LA Mia Cucina Toscana: A Tuscan Cooks in America
Tuscan chef Pino Luongo, proprietor of New York's Le Madri and other celebrated restaurants, focuses once again, in his fourth cookbook, on the foods of his native region. But in this volume, he sends classic Tuscan recipes soaring to new heights, with his own American take on them. The result is innovative and exciting, while still respectful of the valuable local traditions that have built up for centuries. Recipes include Tuna and Beet Casserole with Gorgonzola, Baked Sea Bream on a Bed of Potatoes and Pecorino, and Tuscan-Style Porcini Mushrooms.
