MORE ABOUT SARAH FIORONI
Have you ever wondered how prosciutto is
made? Or how saffron is grown and harvested?
What it’s like to live on an organic, selfsustainable farm and daily prepare the farmproduced food for family and guests?
Sarah Fioroni, executive chef, sommelier, and
general manager of Fattoria Poggio Alloro,
overlooking the towers of San Gimignano,
Tuscany, (Italy) shares stories of family
traditions and daily life as well as recipes in her new book, A Family Farm in Tuscany:
Recipes and Stories from Fattoria Poggio Alloro. Sarah provides a month-by-month glimpse of
farm living through beautiful color photos, as well as seasonal recipes. Her recipes are simple
yet so delicious, and easy to prepare in your kitchen.
The family moved to the farm as sharecroppers
in 1955, and through their hard work and
dedication to the land, later purchased the
farm. They have since transformed it into a
model of integrated, sustainable agriculture
that has received accolades from around the
world and has been featured in numerous
publications. Three generations of Fioronis
continue to work the land using ageold practices, growing a bounty of fruits,
vegetables, cereal crops, olives, and grapes for
their award-winning wines. They also keep
bees, produce saffron, and raise chickens,
Chianina cattle, and pigs, the basis of
homemade prosciuttos and salamis.
