Contest: Comment to Win a copy of Cucinar Cantando Cookbook
This month we are honored to present to you a very special giveaway. A lovely volume of real, time honored, whole food Tuscan recipes that was created by our friends Bruno Staccioli and Maria Grazia De Tommaso. Both work at Torraccia Di Chiusi, a wonderful agriturismo in Tuscany near San Gimignano. They took very good care of The Foodie Blogroll founders (Jenn and Roberto), when they visited back in 2009. They had the extreme pleasure of enjoying several of Bruno's meals while there, which were some of the best meals they have ever eaten. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and the care and love that are very much part of the list of ingredients.
About Cucinar Cantando:
This little book is a true labor of love, and a book any lover of Italian food will treasure. The recipes are extremely rustic, with very little in terms of measurements and cooking times. It is described as a “notebook” by Bruno and Grazia, guiding the reader to sharpen their intuitive skills, even giving you place to write your own recipe notes at the end of each section alongside Bruno's notes.
You will find some of Bruno’s best recipes here, dotted with ideas, thoughts and reflections involving food in general, and more in particular the way Bruno thinks and feels about food.
Check out our website or facebook page for recipes.
The Prize:
We will be giving away three (3) copies of the book Cucinar Cantado by Bruno Staccioli and M. Grazia De Tommaso.
