Episode #4: How Tuscan Women Cook

  As in most any society, the women have the power – at least in the kitchen. Have you ever dreamed of learning to cook in a traditional Italian kitchen? Tuscan Women Cook, in the small Tuscan village of Montefollonico, brings travelers to Tuscany for hands-on learning in the kitchens of the masters – Tuscan grandmothers or nonni. Host Kathy McCabe pays a visit to Montefollonico to meet owner Coleen Kirnan and nonna Laurello Torresi to learn the secrets of how Tuscan Women Cook. They discuss: + How American Coleen came to own a cooking school in Tuscany + Why Montefollonico is off the tourist map + How experiencing authentic Italian life is the best travel experience + Why Italian recipes usually only have a few ingredients + How Tuscan cuisine (cucina povera) is tied to the region’s poor roots + How to make panzanella, gnocchi and riccarelli biscotti + What the secret ingredient is for the best fried zucchini flowers   + And much much more!
