Winter in Tuscany
Release date: September 30, 2025
Amber Guinness brings the heart of Tuscany’s cosy autumnal and wintry flavours to your kitchen.
Following the success of A House Party in Tuscanyand Italian Coastal, Amber Guinness invites you on an artful tour through her beloved Southern Tuscany and favourite pockets of Florence. Winter in Tuscany celebrates the region’s rich culinary and cultural traditions with a quanto basta approach – the intuitive, Italian method of ‘just enough’ – and brings the heart of Tuscany’s cosy autumnal and wintry flavours to your kitchen.
But quanto basta is more than just a philosophy for cooking; it’s a metaphor for life. This book celebrates life in the off-season; an ode to exploring Tuscany’s villages and countryside when the crowds have thinned, allowing for a deeper, more intimate connection with the culture, food and landscapes. In discovering treasures off the beaten path, Amber highlights the richness of exploring at a gentler pace, when Tuscany truly reveals itself.
The book is filled with an array of hyper-local, traditional recipes for the home cook: from antipasti, zuppe – thick, hearty Tuscan soups – and brodo, brothy concoctions that bring comfort on colder days, to rustic pasta, rice and secondi – meat and vegetable mains that celebrate the season.
Whether you’re strolling beneath Della Robbia’s cherubs or simmering a hearty soup on a cold winter’s night, Winter in Tuscany is an invitation to slow down and appreciate the beauty in small moments and big flavours.
