As you most likely know, Tuscan cuisine is world-famous. But did you know that its most important dishes are from the Cucina Povera, literally the poor or peasant kitchen? This important culinary tradition comes from the Tuscan history of sharecropping farmers who lived in the hills and valleys of Tuscany, using their very limited resources to create the most nutritious and filling foods possible. Born out of the necessity to utilize everything, items like old bread or vegetable and meat scraps were repurposed into delicious dishes such as ribollita and panzanella.
