Florentine: The True Cuisine of Florence

The award-winning Italian cookbook Florentine is a collection of recipes and photographs from Florence, Tuscany’s capital.

Author Emiko Davies draws on her extensive knowledge of traditional Florentine cuisine to share recipes that transport readers to the piazzas of the city. From her torta di mele – a reassuringly nonna-esque apple cake – to ravioli pera e ricotta – mouthwateringly buttery pear and ricotta ravioloni – allow yourself to be taken on a culinary tour through the city.

With beautiful food and location photography, Florentine is exquisitely produced as a clothbound hardback with sprayed page edges.

This new edition includes a bonus insider's Florence guide, explaining how to get the best out of 24 hours in the city, and where to find the best pastries, bistecca, and cook's tools.

Product story

Emiko Davies is a food writer and "Food52" and "Cucina Corriere" columnist living in Tuscany. She first arrived in Florence with nothing but a suitcase and some broken Italian, but it soon stole her heart and inspired her to begin her now five-year-old blog about Tuscan food, its history, and its almost strict adherence to traditions. She is considered an international authority on Florentine food, with a weekly column for "Food52" called "Regional Italian Food," and a biweekly column for Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera," among other features. She is also an accomplished photographer and has had her images featured in "Kinfolk" and "Maeve Magazine."
