Seven centuries later, one of Italy’s earliest cookbooks is back on the Karma table.
At Karma Borgo di Colleoli, Head Chef Maurizio Valentini takes inspiration from the Liber de Coquina, one of medieval Italy’s oldest surviving cookbooks, reimagining its recipes for a Supper Club at Enoteca Leoli in the Tuscan hills.
Across the evening, saffron, verjuice, aromatic herbs, fruit and spice find their way into dishes of fried pork ravioli with spiced honey, thin lasagna with aged cheese, roast chicken with pomegranate and almond, and grilled octopus with cumin. To finish, a saffron crêpe and crispy almond ravioli with dates and pine nuts bring the menu to a richly spiced close.
A rare chance to taste the flavours of medieval Italy, thoughtfully reinterpreted for a modern Tuscan table.
