Mushroom stuffed pork tenderloin with truffled mushroom sauce

April 29, 2012 by Fiona Maclean 5 Comments

Mushroom stuffed pork tenderloin

Tuscany Inspired Cookery – Stuffed Pork Tenderloin: Do your travels inspire the food you cook?  For me the answer is definitely yes and this stuffed pork tenderloin with mushrooms was inspired by trips to Italy and to Tuscany in particular. As expected we ate exceptionally well throughout the trip and one of the dishes we […]

Day Trips from Florence

March 19, 2020 by Fiona Maclean 3 Comments

Cathedral Siena

Exploring Tuscany – Town and Country Day Trips from Florence. Why would you want to take a day trip from Florence? There’s a wealth of things to do in Florence, the capital of Tuscany.  It’s known as the ‘cradle of the Renaissance’ for good reason.  The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded […]

Conti di San Bonifacio hotel – Review

June 19, 2019 by Simon Leave a Comment

Conti di San Bonifacio wine resort, Gavorrano, Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy

A luxury boutique Tuscan wine resort and hotel – Conti di San Bonifacio. Ever since reading Lampedusa’s The Leopard in my twenties I have wanted to be an Italian aristocrat of noble lineage. However, the Count of San Bonifacio got there first and his family line can be traced back for over 1000 years whereas […]

Hotel Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni n.1 in Florence

May 21, 2019 by Simon 1 Comment

Antica Torre duomo view 3

A Room With A View – Florence. E.M. Forster’s A Room With A View opens with a very proper English young lady, Miss Lucy Honeychurch, and her priggish cousin and chaperone, Miss Charlotte Bartlett making a trip to Florence. On arrival at their pensione they discover that their room doesn’t have a view of the […]

Tuscany – Castles and Cuisine – Gaioli in Chianti

May 1, 2012 by Fiona Maclean 3 Comments

torta della nonna Castello di Spaltenna Gaioli in Chianti

Hotel Castello di Spaltenna, Gaioli in Chianti – Tuscany:   Someone asked me what the best meal I had eaten in Tuscany was, and I still can’t find a sensible answer.  We tried a wide range of food.  From family restaurants full of Italians on Liberation day to  small bars.  The food we brought from […]

Bruschetta

April 29, 2012 by Fiona Maclean 3 Comments

Bruschetta - Brie, Sundried Tomato, Ricotta

A Bit about Bruschetta: Normally in the UK I avoid ordering Bruschetta in restaurants.  Overdried bits of bread topped with nice but overpriced bits of whatever, mostly tomato paste based and served ice cold.  Thanks to my trip to Tuscany, I’m something of a Bruschetta convert now though. What made these different?  Well, first of […]

To Tuscany

Tuscany Villa

Exploring Tuscany: This is going to be a very, very brief post with a thank you to the people from To-Tuscany for their fabulous competition. I am just back from a wonderful week in Tuscany where thankfully the weather was considerably better than the UK. We stayed in a lovely hilltop hamlet, a collection of […]

Chocolate Cantuccini

Cantuccini in Florence

Chocolate, almonds and a taste of Tuscany:   One of my favourite occupations on my recent trip to Tuscany was nibbling on home made cantuccini with a glass of vin santo after a meal.  The little biscuits which we sometimes mistakenly call biscotti over here, were packed with almonds and pleasantly crunchy. In Florence, we […]

Courgette and Fennel Pollen Flan

courgette flan with chicken livers

Experiment – Courgette Flan and Chicken Livers: This dish is a variation on a theme.  The theme was set by Anna Binni at a recent blogging event hosted by Tuscany Now.  Some of what we ate was quite familar and I was really interested to discover how to make the chicken liver dish for that […]
