{"product_id":"winter-in-tuscany","title":"Winter In Tuscany","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'This book is a collection of the cosy, hearty dishes I love to cook in winter - recipes that are either traditionally Tuscan or Tuscan-inspired. It's all about comforting, flavourful food for cold winter nights. But more than that, this book is about a way of cooking I truly believe in: the quanto basta method.  It means 'as much as you need' - a glug of olive oil instead of a tablespoon. A pinch of salt as needed. You taste as you go and adjust. Once, when I was learning to make pici with a local cook, she simply said, \"We need as much flour as it takes.\" That's the essence of quanto basta. It's not about being perfect - it's about being present, being practical, and making something delicious with what you have.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWinter in Tuscany\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e celebrates rich culinary and cultural traditions with a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003equanto basta\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e approach - the intuitive, Italian method of 'just enough' - and brings the heart of Tuscany's cosy autumnal and wintry flavours to your kitchen.
