Bruschetta

You can taste history in Bruschetta if you know what to look for. Italian cooking is intensely regional with little crossover between provinces. The bright and tomatoey character reflects those layers — San Marzano tomatoes doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition. The a Sunday…

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Bruschetta well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The fresh and herbal base was authentic and the use of aged balsamic showed real knowledge. Italian cooking is intensely regional with little crossover between provinces. The a…

Bruschetta at this place was fine. The deeply savory flavour was there but not distinguished. fresh basil was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference.

I've now had Bruschetta prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises fresh basil in the way ingredient simplicity and quality are the guiding principles. The bright and tomatoey character is more pronounced and direct. The modern in…

Bruschetta rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The deeply savory complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using fresh basil correctly takes real skill. ingredient simplicity and quality are the guiding principles. I encountered it first in a Sunday ragu lu…
