Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Breaded tuna steaks (Costolette di tonno)

    • nicolepellegrini on February 08, 2019

      Delicious! The marjoram and lemon peel mixed into the breadcrumbs gave this a nice flavor. A little tricky getting the breadcrumbs to stick to the steaks even with the egg coating. Wonder if I might try a thin flour coating first next time.

  • Lamb chops in caper sauce (Costolette d'agnello ai capperi)

    • nicolepellegrini on April 01, 2026

      I was a little skeptical of this recipe but wanted to try something different with lamb chops. And it was delicious! The caper sauce cut some of the gaminess of the lamb (which I don't mind, but my husband does) and cooking in the little packets in the oven kept them super tender and juicy. Would absolutely make again, especially for someone who didn't think they like lamb.

Publishers Text

Medici is internationally renowned for her cookery classes in Tuscany. In this beautiful book she invites us into the kitchen and dining room of the medieval monastery which is both her home and headquarters for the school. From there she sets off on a series of visits to the villas, palaces and castles of her friends and relatives, giving us a privileged insight into the rebirth of Italian cooking which is taking place. Each chapter discusses the culinary delights of a different region of Italy and includes a wealth of delicious traditional recipes. The photographer, John Ferro Sims, travelled with Lorenza de'Medici capturing the beauty of the landscape and the elegance of classical Italian dishes in some innovative surroundings.
