Tuscan Supper / Cena Toscana
ciao italia

Mary Ann travels to Tuscany to cook with Chef Michele Rabazzi, who takes the humble tomato and a loaf of classic Tuscan bread and turns them into the peasant-simple but deeply satisfying Pappa al Pomodoro. Then he fires up the grill for a more upscale dinnertime feast of Beef Tagliata con Patate Duchesse.

Episode Duration: 27 minutes and 3 seconds
