Florencia or Party Cakes

Florencia (Florence)

Author: Lori de Mori

In a city where Renaissance art flourished, bakers, chefs, and wine and cheese makers are equally revered as masters. These culinary artists adhere to a centuries-old belief: That foods are best when their essential flavors are allowed to shine through. More than 45 recipes, from antipasti to desserts, demonstrate this straightforward principle, from classics such as Ribollita, Grilled Florentine Steak, and Almond Biscotti to elegant dishes like Ricotta and Spinach Dumplings with Truffles and Parmesan Risotto Cakes with Saffron Sauce. With lush photos, authentic recipes, and in-depth stories, this Spanish-language entry in the Foods of the World series captures the foods and flavors of Florence.
