Florentine: food and stories from the renaissance city

In Florentine, Emiko Davis takes us on a stroll through the streets of Florence, past bakeries and pastry shops bustling with espresso sippers, colourful markets, busy trattorias, butchers, hole-in-the-wall wine bars and late-night gelaterias.She stays true to the most classic recipes and traditions of the Renaissance city - which inspired her to start her eponymous blog five years ago while living in Florence - revealing an unpretentious and unchanging cuisine that tells the unique story of its city, dish by dish.'Emiko Davies' work is not a casual appreciation of Italian cooking - it is a studied, observant, and celebratory one.

To see - and cook - Florence's food traditions through Emiko's recipes, research, and immersive photography is to gain a deeper understanding of the city that you're like to get in years of visits.' - Kristen Miglore, Executive Editor, Food52
