Nonna Leda |
|
Grandma Leda vegetable garden's and field flavours!
She grew up between fields and together with healthy traditions of the land of Tuscany, she never accepted to use her recipes to cook supermarket's produce; it seems still to hear her words like this: "these things don't have flavour, what's the reason to use one thing which doesn't have the real taste that should have?"
I learned from her to use just season's and hight quality fruits and vegetables, grown just with simple Nature rules: sun, rain and... love! |

Mom Giovanna poor kitchen of Tuscany!
She was born just after second world war, she made virtue of necessity, cooking according to the rules of my grandma and optimizing the products of vegetable garden, fields and game, which luckily yesterday as today, Tuscany is always good equipped in abundance. Great lover of snails and talent to cook game. Now, she cannot wait to see grow up her grandchildren to hand down the treasure left from my grandma. |

Dad Salvatore Mister Truffle Hunter!
One life dedicated to the precious diamond of the land and, today for sure, one of the biggest expert of Tuscany and of Italy about truffles; he has been the President of Truffle Hunter Association for 18 years and vice president of National Federation for 2 years. A person who has always fighted for the Real Truffle fresh and of quality, very different from flavour of “aromatic” products.

Zia Carla |

Aunt Carla tradition and innovation!
Younger than my mom; from her I learned new cooking techniques and curiosity to try to improve each recipe or to think up new. From her I got it that kitchen is tradition, but also innovation, research and sharing. Cooking with other people can just to improve: cross knowledge together with traditions for obtaining dishes that excite. |
