Bracali and the Revolution in Tuscan Cuisine - Paperback

by Roberto Curti (Author)

A self-taught culinary virtuoso, Francesco Bracali is one of Italy's top chefs. He and his brother, Luca, a sommelier, own the two-Michelin-stars restaurant Bracali in Massa Marittima, Tuscany. Once an unpretentious tavern run by their parents, the brothers turned it into a fine dining place where they revisited the region's rich gastronomic traditions in an innovative way.

Their revolutionary approach--a novelty at first--today boasts international recognition. This book examines Tuscany's culinary history and analyzes the Bracali brothers' interpretation of traditional dishes and fine wine.
