A Day in the Life of Giulio the Truffle Hunter
Guided by expert hunter Giulio and his astute canine companions, discover the art of truffle hunting in the idyllic countryside of Bagno a Ripoli, a 25-minute drive from Hotel Savoy.
Every dish at Hotel Savoy has a story behind it and each one of its ingredients play a role in unravelling the tale. Rocco Forte’s Director of Food and Italy’s most renowned Chef Fulvio Pierangelini conjures magical qualities from the most simple and familiar ingredients of the Tuscan region. In celebrating Italy’s finest culinary traditions, he shares with us two recipes that mark the gentle end of summer and usher in the soothing colours of autumn.
A comforting bean cream and ravioli coupled with a citrus-zing tequila-based cocktail, is the perfect blend of zesty freshness and Italian soul food. Drawing inspiration from the use of beans in traditional Mexican cuisine which pairs incredibly with tequila, he brings together these two creations to give your palate the warmth of ravioli and a burst of flavour with fresh tangerines, evoking emotions to long remember.
