5 typically Tuscan desserts, I advise you not to miss the opportunity to taste.Tuscany is famous for its culinary delights and especially for its desserts. Here people prefer to eat breakfast at the bar, enjoying Italian coffee with some pastry. They say: “the day can be seen from the morning”, and why not start it off by taking a few whims? It has now become a ritual, a tradition one of the many beautiful things that Italians have.
The tradition of sweets is very old and has been passed on for years. In addition, every year new recipes revisit from master pastry chefs or famous chefs who sometimes turn upside down the original dish.
