Chianti Cookbook (page 1)
This July, I was asked
to be one of four Storytellers for DaVinci Wine. We traveled for a week
to Tuscany, with the small town of Vinci as our home-base. A glorious
villa nestled above countless vineyards was the perfect setting to soak
up the wine, food, people and culture of the Montalbano region of
Chianti. Besides writing posts each day during our visit—Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5—I put together a mini ‘cookbook’ of the many flavors and tastes we experienced on our trip. Upon returning home: I tested recipes
like crazy (my family didn’t seem to mind), snapped pictures and
generally relived that week’s pleasures through food and photos. And
now: I am sharing the unedited version with you.
