March 8 – A Woman: Sweet & Strong

Finger food includes guacamole with transparent tortillas, small choux pastries filled with truffle mousse, goat cheese blinis with salmon and dill, tomato bavarois with burrata foam, and “pine leaves” with potato brunoise and octopus soppressata.

A corner of Tuscan cured meats and cheeses with artisanal schiacciata is accompanied by cauliflower “mimosa” puff pastry, a ginger-infused guinea fowl salad with baby spinach and pistachios, stuffed “verzette” in a sweet-and-sour style with pork loin, chicken livers and fennel seeds, “mimosa” panzanella with prawns and sweet-and-sour red onion, and a savoury gorgonzola and honey cheesecake.

Hot dishes include pumpkin crepes au gratin with Tuscan sausage and sultanas, smoked risotto with aged ricotta finished with traditional balsamic vinegar, “Peposo in Dolceforte” (a traditional Tuscan spiced beef stew), and Florentine-style herbs.

The price is €30 all inclusive, with buffet dinner served from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm, followed by a grand finale with pastry chefs.
