••• Your Roadmap to the Best Food in Tuscany •••
Tuscany for Foodies introduces you to the best of foodie Tuscany, from the butchers, bakers, and cheese makers who adhere to ancient traditions and proudly sell their goods in small shops, to restaurants large and small that process local ingredients into good-to-eat meals. Youll find maps and directions to Tuscanys iconic foodie shrines, including Tuscanys famous "Dante Quoting Butcher" and his growing restaurant empire in little Panzano.
But Tuscan food isnt about famous butchers or even famous chefs--its about the simple cooking of Italian Grandmothers, and weve searched high and wide for some of the little places where traditions are still strong, country places youll need a car to get to, but rewarding places you wont likely forget.
