Italian food

Read here the most interesting news and tips about food in Italy, Italian drinks and learn some authentic Italian recipes.

Pizza, spaghetti, tortellini... aren't they all alike? Not at all! As you get in touch with Italians, you begin to notice how different their traditions are depending on where they come from.

When I came to live in Italy 25 years ago, I was really surprised with the big differences in cooking even between two small cities, just 7 km one another.

(“English is not my mother tongue, so please forgive my accent!” )

 
italian food spaghetti The food culture in Italy is really... culture. Nobody can deny it. It's part of italians' life. It's unique and deserves attention.

Think about pasta. It is known as an Italian specialty, but it came from Arabian people. In Italy it was developed it so well that it became an Italian typical product. There are so many types of pasta that it is even difficult to find a complete list of them.

Italian wine costs less than water in most restaurants! I mean the “property one” (vino della casa). A bottle of mineral water in a restaurant in Rome costed me  € 5, and a ¼ liter of red wine € 3.

The most important wines have a wide range of prices, but you really have good choices. The Italian ones are at the first place in US market… and there must be a reason for it.

But here in Italy people do not drink only wine. Tasty and typical beverages are common for an aperitif (another local habit) or after a meal, as grappa or limoncello.

Italian food - cheese and wine

I personally began to learn about this cuisine culture when I got married and came to live in Italy (Sardinia). I began to live closely to these traditions, quite making them mine. I learned how to cook a “sugo” (tomato salse) and make pasta at home; so that I could open a small spaghetti house in Rio while living there for a while.

In Italy there are as many recipes as small centres, and the curious thing is that they’re jealous one from another!

You may say: ”Your pork sausage reminds me the one I ate yesterday at dinner in … (close city or centre)”. You’ll probably hear as an answer: ”No. They use this spice (example) and we don’t. We use this other one!” It’d be quite a fault to have the same recipe!
