Italian Recipes

Italian recipes may vary between bordering cities. Italy has some bigger cities and a lot of small centres. Each one of these has its own traditions and… recipes. There are italian recipes that can be considered “general”, and I will consider them for the major time, as differences between small cities often are dued to different spices or small details that may be difficult to follow being outside that “world”.

The same for risotto recipes. Here you have different types of rice and different ways to cook it. I used to eat rice in Brazil, but risotto is really another thing. It’s much more than rice. And, take it easy, it’s not difficult to make an inviting italian food dinner even without cooking experience! You can even try a seafood risotto…

Traditional recipes

You need to know how to prepare a good besciamella in order to be able to make a delicious lasagna.

Many dishes are enriched with the typical broth , that is wonderful as a simple soup in cold evenings, enriched with a good Parmiggiano Reggiano.

Italian food is one of the main mediterranean diets, and even if italians eat a lot of meat, it’s easy to notice that there are less choices of recipes for meat, as it is not at the top of mediterranean diet pyramid. There are more fish instead, as mediterranean fishes are very tasty.

The other strong point of italian food is certainly its sweets or candies. There are so many…and so different between them! You certainly know tiramisu, and maybe zuppa inglese. But have you already tried a fresh amaretto?
