A self-taught culinary genius, Francesco Bracali is one of Italy's top chefs. He and his brother Luca, a sommelier, own the two-Michelin-starred restaurant Bracali in Massa Marittima, Tuscany: once an unpretentious tavern run by their parents, Francesco and Luca turned it into a fine dining place where they started revisiting the region's ample gastronomic tradition in an innovative and creative way.

The book tells the story of the Bracali brothers, from the early days where their revolutionary approach to cuisine was a novelty, to today's International recognition. It also examines Tuscany's regional cuisine and its historical and cultural roots, and includes a detailed analysis of Bracali's own creative reinterpretation of several traditional dishes.
