August in Tuscany

For the next two weeks, Shop the River Cafe newsletters will come from Tuscany, the region we love. 

These dishes are truly Tuscan; a summer bread soup, beefsteak Fiorentina, potatoes al forno, green beans from the garden, baked figs and cantucci biscuits with Vin Santo.  

Buon Appetito!
