V čase, keď v ranorenesančnom Taliansku zúrili vojny medzi mestskými štátmi, záhadný génius Leonardo da Vinci vytvoril niektoré z najvýznamnejších umeleckých diel všetkých čias. Slávu si nezískal iba úsmevom Mony Lisy – na dvore Sforzovcov v Miláne pripravoval najveľkolepejšie divadelné predstavenia a bankety, aké kedy Európa videla, a to napriek tomu, že sám žil takmer ako mních a konzumoval najjednoduchšiu vegetariánsku stravu. Vo svojich skicároch nám Leonardo zanechal podrobný záznam o svojom talente a nadšení pre stravu: o varení, filozofii stravy, radách týkajúcich sa pitia a o kuchynských vynálezoch. Da Vinciho kuchyňa skúma rozvoj a premenu talianskej stravy v priebehu 15. a 16. storočia – od opisov pompéznyh hostín a jedál podávaných na kráľovských dvoroch až po jednoduchšiu stravu, ktorou sa živili roľníci.
