Title: Soffritto
Description: Tuscany has enchanted the world for centuries. At last in Soffritto, lovers of the region are treated to a view from the kitchen doorway of one of Florence's most talented chefs, Benedetta Vitali. Whether Benedetta is cooking at home or in her acclaimed restaurant, Zibibbo, she always prepares her native cuisine with respect and passion. Named in tribute to the aromatic preparation of onion, carrot, and celery that is the foundation of a wide variety of Italian foods, Soffritto is much more than a recipe book. Infused with Benedetta's spirit and wisdom, Soffritto offers an intimate look at both Old World and contemporary Tuscany through the eyes of a chef who has lived and cooked in Florence all of her life--dust jacket flap.
