Where should I start? At the beginning… I read about a recipe competition a couple of weeks ago. The theme was so inspiring that even if I’m really busy to work for a new, lovely client on a huge project quite recently I couldn’t resist that. The organizers look for Tuscany inspired recipes! I love Tuscany and I’m definitely in love with Italian food. Only two weeks and we’ll be there again as every year. If I close my eyes I can see myself getting up early and drive for the local market to look for the best Italian burrata, mussels, juicy fresh fruits and bread. What kind of other adventure could be more fantastic than hunting through an Italian market? To me nothing.
I’ve made some search over the web and found out some really nice tuscan ingredients. And then I asked my friend Gabah who is a master in fish and seafood dishes and happens to live in Italy if my idea fits with the criteria. She made some great suggestion and I couldn’t wait to take my apron and got bake! It was a lovely choice, even if not ready under 20 minutes it’s worth to make.
