It felt surreal to watch Stefano dress cinghiale the first time. After 11 years, it still takes a little getting used to. This little piggy was quartered and shared. From My Tuscan Kitchen, I immersed the cinghiale in a white wine and herbed brine for four days. I prepared a sofritto (celery, onions, carrots and garlic). I browned the piggy. The ingredients went into a pot and stewed for three hours. Dinner is served Stewed Cinghiale on Polenta.

It is Fall in Tuscany. Stefano brought home a bouquet of flowers, in a beer batter they went. From My Tuscan Kitchen, I couldn’t resist Fried Zucchini Flowers. I used Extra Virgin Italian Olive Oil that imparted the flavorful nutty, greenness of the oil. Due to the lower acidity of most Italian olive oils, I didn’t experience any smoking. #rubinirossi #mytuscankitchen #frommytuscankitchen #foodforfoodies #foodstagram #eat #letscookitalian #italiancomfortfood #tuscancomfortfood #formycookbook #food #foodblogger #italianfood #onmytable #goodeats #foodgasm #foodphotography #foodie #buonappetito #eatwell #lamiacucinatoscana #contikitchen #mytuscanlife #vegetarian (at Tuscany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVg1S2KJQ_x/?utm_medium=tumblr

From My Tuscan Kitchen, I am celebrating seasonal Sicilian cherry tomatoes. I love this dish because of its simplicity and flavor: Slice bread, drizzle with olive oil and toast in the oven until golden. Mince tomatoes, add basil, salt to taste and a drizzle of olive oil. Remove crostini (toasted bread) from the oven, scrape with a clove of fresh garlic and spoon tomato mix onto crostini. I usually finish with a drizzle of olive oil before serving. And, that’s it.

From My Tuscan Kitchen, I celebrated summer with bountiful mix of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries on my cheesecake. The baby mint leaves were the perfect finish that added a lovely flavor. Too pretty to eat! #rubinirossi #mytuscankitchen #frommytuscankitchen #foodforfoodies #foodstagram #eat #dessert #cheesecake #sweets #cake #cakes #formycookbook #food #foodblogger #onmytable #goodeats #foodgasm #foodphotography #foodie #eatwell #lamiacucinatoscana #contikitchen #mytuscanlife (at Vicchio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSS3TbWCchC/?utm_medium=tumblr

The best party about baking cakes is the decorating! From My Tuscan Kitchen, I have my fresh berries and glaze prepared for my cheesecake. #rubinirossi #mytuscankitchen #frommytuscankitchen #foodforfoodies #foodstagram #eat #dessert #cheesecake #americanbakerinflorence #formycookbook #food #foodblogger #bakery #onmytable #goodeats #foodgasm #foodphotography #foodie #buonappetito #eatwell #sweettooth #lamiacucinatoscana #contikitchen #mytuscanlife (at Vicchio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9P_0gCEex/?utm_medium=tumblr

It was a birthday month of bar-b-que and salads. From My Tuscan Kitchen, we had cowboy steaks on the grill and a classic Caesar Salad. It is impossible to find bottled dressing in Italy and made the Caesar from scratch. I tweaked the recipe and it is perfection. The Cowboy steaks are my favorite (better than Florentine) and finished with our Sale with Pepe and served with a side of garlic butter. #rubinirossi #mytuscankitchen #frommytuscankitchen #foodforfoodies #foodstagram #eat #formycookbook #food #foodblogger #bbq #onmytable #goodeats #foodgasm #foodphotography #foodie #buonappetito #eatwell #meat #lamiacucinatoscana #contikitchen #mytuscanlife (at Vicchio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR7JeIDLpE6/?utm_medium=tumblr

When we were in Sicily a few years back, I was on the quest for the most scrumptious cannolo. In my humble opinion, Donna Fugata in Ragusa had the BEST tasting! I finally decided to make these Sicilian sweets (slightly deviating from the traditional recipe) and highlighting seasonal flavors. From My Tuscan Kitchen, I prepared my summer inspired Lemon Mascarpone Cannoli for dessert. They were delightfully light, delicate and lemony fresh. I will certainly be making these again. The flavor variations are endless! I couldn’t bring myself to waste the extra scraps of pasta and made cenci for Stefano. #rubinirossi #dessert #americanbakerinflorence #mytuscankitchen #frommytuscankitchen #foodforfoodies #foodstagram #eat #letscookitalian #italiancomfortfood #tuscancomfortfood #formycookbook #food #foodblogger #italianfood #onmytable #goodeats #foodgasm #foodphotography #foodie #buonappetito #eatwell #lamiacucinatoscana #contikitchen #sweettooth #mytuscanlife (at Vicchio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR3O9N6rLOF/?utm_medium=tumblr
