This rustic recipe is brought straight from Italy by chef Benedetta Vitali of Florence's reknowned Zibibbo Trattoria. With Jody Adams of Rialto on hand, Benedetta assembles cauliflower and broccoli mixed with a Parmesan béchemel sauce. Topped with extra cheese for a crispy golden crust, this bubbly gratin will be pleasing to choosy, young palates (and they'll never know they're actually eating a large portion of vegetables...shhh!).
Benedetta Vitali is a chef who has lived and worked all her life in Florence, Italy. In 1979, fresh out of university, she and Fabio Picchi founded the restaurant Cibrèo, with the purpose of offering their fellow Florentines a connection to a traditional Tuscan cooking style that was neglected in the postwar trend of prepackaged and convenience foods. In 1999, Benedetta opened a new restaurant of her own, the trattoria Zibibbo, emphasizing fresh produce from nearby small farms and gardens. She is the author of Soffrito: Tradition & Innovation in Tuscan Cooking & La Cucina degli Affetti | Catering and Caring: 124 Recipes for Cooking with Love. Benedetta teaches cooking classes in Italy and in the United States.
