Giada De Laurentiis arrives in Florence, Italy and heads straight to the local market, where she shops and introduces the local cuisine. She celebrates the hearty northern Italian food by preparing a Tuscan-style lunch to share with friends that are visiting from the United States. Giada's menu includes her spin on Bistecca alla Fiorentina, White Bean and Cavalo Nero and a bottle of local Chianti, topped off with a classic Tuscan dessert of biscotti and sweet wine.
