Uncover the recipes and stories from a largely unheralded regionof Tuscany, the Silver Coast; a place of wild natural beauty, idyllic coastlines and crumbling hilltop villages. Its cuisine is rustic, peasant food, often cooked in one pot. Acquacotta, literally meaning cooked water, is its most famous dish, a soup made of slowly simmered tomatoes, onions and poached eggs.

´ Acquacotta is a serious and authoritative homage to the foodways of this little-known but lovely corner of Tuscany, its history, its influences, its landscape and its wonderful produce. Every dish in this book respects local knowledge and tradition and thanks to the author´s brilliant photography, its essential nature is revealed for all to see and understand. I love it.´ - Stephanie Alexander

Emiko Davies is a food writer and "Food52" and "Cucina Corriere" columnist living in Tuscany. She first arrived in Florence with nothing but a suitcase and some broken Italian, but it soon stole her heart and inspired her to begin her now five-year-old blog about Tuscan food, its history, and its almost strict adherence to traditions. She is considered an international authority on Florentine food, with a weekly column for "Food52" called "Regional Italian Food," and a biweekly column for Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera," among other features. She is also an accomplished photographer and has had her images featured in "Kinfolk" and "Maeve Magazine."
