Bracali and the Revolution in Tuscan Cuisine

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.
