Sumptuous banquets, famous for their choreographic splendor, where meals were served and refined foods of all kinds: sauces, soups, game, omelettes, meatballs, and chicken, but also beans, tomatoes, chocolate coming from the New World having just been discovered. This recipe reflects the Tuscany style served at court during the Renaissance.
