Originating from cucina povera (“peasant cooking”), Tuscan cuisine is celebrated for its simplicity, seasonality and quality of ingredients. From Bistecca alla Fiorentina (a huge flamegrilled, bone-in steak), to Pappa al Pomodoro (bread and ripe tomato soup), behind each recipe lies a great story waiting to be told. ‘Seasoning the Duomo’, transports us into the kitchen of dynamic duo chefs, Pippo and Guia, as they recount the tales and traditions intrinsically woven in Tuscan recipes. In this episode we discover the history behind “Peposo alla Fornacina” — the florentine beef stew that fueled the construction of Brunelleschi’s Cupola.
