n most cookbooks, recipes with florentine in the name include spinach as a main ingredient. Not so in Florence, where it means that peas are included! For example, Veal Florentine Style (Vitello alla Fiorentina) has no spinach, although many of us would expect that instead of peas. Blame Catherine de'Medici.
When she married into the 16th century French royal house at age 14, she brought along Tuscan cooks who introduced their cuisine to the royal court. The French incorporated and codified these recipes, giving them new names that have endured for centuries.Còllabecame béchamel, crespelle became crêpes,gelato became glace, pàpero al melaranciobecame cànard a l'orange,and alla fiorentina...You get the idea.
