Assoc. Toscani nel Mondo

Assoc. Toscani nel Mondo: Our association was formed to provide social & cultural activities for Tuscan immigrants, their families & friends. It is recognized by Florence in Italy as Queensland’s official social & cultural organization for Tuscany. Each year, we promote the Tuscan culture by organizing dinners, lunches, exhibitions & various socio-cultural gatherings. The association keeps in constant contact with the Tuscan region & in particular one of its provincial cities: Lucca.

Tuscan winter dinner (seafood)

                                       

With such a plethora of coastline, it’s not hard to see why Italians love food from the sea. Tuscany hugs the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, where the water is salty and shellfish abundant. Some of the great dishes of Tuscany include a variety of shellfish cooked and simmered as a stew or sauce.

The Tuscan Association of Qld together with Italian chef – Vittorio Greco and his wife Barbara will prepare a 4 course dinner of very authentic Tuscan seafood dishes that will satisfy the most hungry appetite.
