A rustic French baked dessert from the Limousin region — black cherries baked in a thick, eggy batter that puffs up in the oven to a soft, custardy, pancake-like consistency; simple and quick to make, it is the definitive home dessert of southwest France; purists insist the cherries must remain unpitted to preserve their flavour, the almond-like note from the kernel infusing the batter.
A French laminated pastry of butter folded into yeasted dough, baked into a flaky, crescent-shaped icon of the patisserie.

Tuscany's most nourishing peasant soup — a thick, bread-thickened minestrone of cannellini beans, cavolo nero, and winter vegetables, built over several days by rebooling (ribollita means "reboiled") leftovers; the bread dissolves completely, creating a soup so thick a spoon stands upright in it.
