Cucina Toscana: Simplicity and the Bean

Tuscan cooking is the "mangiafagioli" (bean-eater) tradition of Italy — the French and Northern Italians have historically used this term (originally as an insult) to describe the Tuscan reliance on beans as a dietary staple. The Tuscans have reclaimed it with pride: the specific bean preparations of Tuscany (ribollita, fagioli all'uccelletto, fagioli nel fiasco) represent the most sophisticated treatment of the humble ingredient in European cooking.
