The Vegan Heart of Tuscany: Timeless Flavors from an Ancient Land
Description
Think Tuscan cuisine is all about steak? Think again! Many traditional Tuscan dishes are naturally vegan, a legacy from a time when farmers rarely had access to meat or animal products. Instead, they mastered the art of creating flavorful, hearty, and nourishing meals from the simplest ingredients.
Join Chef Sara in the heart of Chianti for a culinary journey into this authentic, plant-based tradition. Together, you’ll prepare beloved Tuscan classics like cecina (a savory chickpea flatbread) as an appetizer, farinata toscana or pappa al pomodoro (depending on the season), and finish with the iconic castagnaccio, a rustic chestnut flour cake rich in history and taste.
As you cook, Sara will share stories of her grandparents and the traditions that shaped these dishes—an intimate glimpse into a world that has faded, but whose flavors remain timeless.
Enjoy this hands-on experience in Sara’s charming countryside home, surrounded by breathtaking views of the Tuscan hills. Bring your appetite, your curiosity, and even your furry friends! Dogs are welcome and will have plenty of space to play in the garden alongside Tosca, Sara’s sweet setter.
🌱 Come taste the essence of an ancient Tuscany—simple, authentic, and naturally vegan.
