Simple ItalianTraditional Food is best!
|
Italian cuisine is all about simplicity and using only freshest, best
ingredients, then using basic cooking techniques to enhance the natural flavour of the food.
What could be more basic than the pizza?

Yet, this simple dish has found world-wide fame just because it tastes so
good!
Some of these rural Italian food recipes have been used for centuries by peasant
farmer's wives (Pattona, Pattona Dura
and Torta di Patate, for example) to feed hungry households, so
have well stood the test of time.

Would you not eat a pizza because of it's origins? They are not the highly polished and
intensely decorated type of Italian cuisine recipes that you will find in most modern Italian restaurants but the
very basic home cooking that will guarantee a satisfied smile from everyone. Go ahead and try them, you will be
glad that you did!
You may well be surprised to learn that "Polenta" and "Focaccia" (the most humble of Italian peasant cuisine) for example, have very successfully
found their way onto the menus of the very best of Italian and non-Italian restaurants alike! So, please do not be
a food snob just because it may have had humble origins. Just enjoy the flavours.
I have used these Italian traditional food recipes to
successfully feed my entire family for the past forty five years.
Traditional Italian food is meant to be enjoyed!
Through this website, I hope to share with you my love of traditional Italian food
in other words rural, peasant cooking in all it's simplicity.
I hope to inspire everyone to try new food recipes, and to fully
experience the joy of Italian cooking. I will be adding in new rustic, Italian
traditional food recipes and articles periodically, so please keep on visiting the
site to ensure that you have the latest recipes and articles.
