The wild Trasure: foraging in the Tuscan countryside

There is a precise moment between the end of winter and the explosion of spring, where the Tuscan countryside stops being just a panorama and transforms in to a wild treasure. During my cooking class in Florence, we explore this natural pantry, learning the ancient art of foraging  where nature spontaneously offers its gift.

An ancient rite:

For me gathering spontaneous herbs it is a rite, a return to the origins that  bring us into deep connection with nature.  Is the Luxury of simplicity that I love to share with my guests.

Nature’s secret soul:

As we wander through the fields or along the dry walls, we seek the wild spirit of the Nepitella, the silver of wild Garlic, the elegance of wild Asparagus, the ancient strength of wild Nettle, the whisper of wild Fennel that smell of freedom…. Pure enchantment!

A unique experience:

It is a sensory experience that crosses the palate and comes straight to the heart. It speaks of the sun that warmed the soil, the rain that nourished it, and the ancient wisdom that teach us to recognize the good.
