Steps:
- Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the almonds, flour and zest in a medium bowl. Stir the sugar, butter, cream, and honey in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the almond mixture. Cool the batter for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using 2 teaspoons of batter for each cookie, spoon 8 mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly apart (the cookies will spread). Flatten the batter slightly with your finger.
- Bake the cookies until they are lacy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Gently slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto a rack and cool completely. Transfer the cookies to paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter, lining the baking sheets with clean parchment for each batch. (The cookies can be made up to this point 2 months ahead. Cool completely, then store airtight in the freezer. Defrost before continuing.)
- Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Spread the melted chocolate over the bottom of 1 cookie. Top with a second cookie, bottom side down, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat with the remaining cookies and chocolate.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment.Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and whisk in the flour then add the cherries, flaked almonds, pistachios and orange zest.
- Scoop 10 flat tbsp of the mixture onto the baking sheets, leaving room for them to spread. You will need to do these in batches. Bake for 10 mins until golden. Leave to cool for 2 mins until firm enough to lift onto a wire rack. Cool completely. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a simmering saucepan of water or in the microwave in 30 second bursts. Turn the florentines over on the wire rack. Spoon chocolate onto the base of each florentine and gently spread to the edges. When the chocolate is firm enough to hold its shape, use a fork to draw wavy lines across the chocolate. Leave to set and then store in an airtight container.

Estimated Reading Time 6 mins
- Pizza Schiacciata. Schiacciata is a Tuscan flatbread baked crispy in a wood oven and doused with olive oil and salt. It's a great mid-morning snack or a lunchtime sandwich filled with any combination of cold cuts, cheese, and vegetables.
- Bistecca Alla Fiorentina. Thick, enormous, and served quite rare, the Italian equivalent of a T-bone steak is a rite of passage for meat-lovers visiting Florence.
- Ribollita. You might not want to tuck into a piping hot bowl of ribollita in the height of summertime, but almost any other time of year, this Florentine comfort food, a hearty soup made of beans, kale, cabbage, and stale bread hits the spot.
- Tagliere. A tagliere is a cutting board, and a tagliere at a simple trattoria or wine bar may go down as one of your favorite meals in Florence—a wooden board piled high with salumi (mixed cold cuts), cheeses, olives, and other finger foods to be eaten with bread and washed down with a nice local wine or beer.
- Pinzimonio. Trust us, after all the meat, cheese, and bread you'll be consuming in Florence, you're going to need some fresh vegetables. Pinzimonio to the rescue!
- Lampredotto. Back when only wealthy Florentines could afford good cuts of meat, those lower on the economic ladder got whatever was leftover, typically the offal, or organ meats and other spare parts of the animal.
- Crostini al Fegato. Once again, Florence presents us with dishes that really don't sound all that appetizing but that are nonetheless delicious. Take crostini al fegato di pollo, which are toasted bread slices topped with chicken liver pate.
- Truffles. Truffles are an all-or-nothing matter of taste—you either love the fungus's earthy pungency or simply can't stand the smell. Black truffles grow in the Tuscan countryside, and make their way onto appetizers, pastas, and meat dishes across Florence.
- Gelato. Of course you can find gelato just about anywhere in Italy, and in any season. But gelato was allegedly invented in Florence, so the city takes special pride in its offerings.
- Cantucci. Called tozzetti in other parts of Italy, these crunchy, oblong almond cookies are tasty on their own, delicious with coffee, and best eaten as dessert paired with a glass of sweet vin santo wine for dipping.
