Mary Ann travels to Florence, Italy to cook classic Tuscan bean dishes with good friend, Iris Lodovici. After creating a hearty pasta and bean dish plus Beans in a Pot, Mary Ann goes nella cucina for two more recipes featuring creamy-white cannellini beans; one a crostini topping made with escarole, the other a hearty Soup of the Lombards to replace winter's chill with warming memories of Florence.
