Tradition and innovation are the basic pillars to enhance the Tuscan cooking of Marco Stabile. For his most successful recipes he goes back to the tastes of the old good times, to the ingredients strongly tied to his Tuscan roots. His dishes are able to dialogue with the traditional tastes, sounding so comfortable and reassuring. However the pigeon and the piglet he prepares evolve to new heights through special cooking techniques, the pepper flavoured pork melts inside and contemporarily gets crunchy outside.
Innovation goes on, adding Marco Stabile’s special touch and his research can address to the potato too, sorting out of his hat a humorously famous dish “The dream of the potato: go beyond the truffle “. The chef has successfully organized an unusual competition between the humble potato and the noble truffle with his creativity as winner.
