Sopressata Toscana I was invited to take part in a Tuscan Cooking Class held by italian chef Anna Bini and sponsored by Tuscany Now. I confess I was not familiar with Anna and I am even less familiar with Tuscany’s food heritage. Italian regional cuisine is very different from area to area so I was keen to find out more about one of our country’s most famous regions.

As a relatively recent foodie, I had not been to one of these before, nor have I had the pleasure to dine at the Underground Restaurant, however, behold the power of Twitter, I was invited a few weeks ago to present my products to a ‘Dragon’s Den’ style panel.
