Italian traditional food
is meant to be simple, fresh and delicious. I am happy to
present some of my favourite rustic, peasant but very
tasty Italian traditional food.
In other words, home cooking at it best!!
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.
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 even the most fastidious of
eaters.
| 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 simply because it
tastes so good!
|
You may be
surprised to learn that "Polenta"
and "Focaccia" (the most humble of
Italian peasant cuisine) for example, have recently very
successfully found their way onto the menus of the very best of
restaurants. So, please do not be a food snob just because it
may have humble origins.
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!
Don't be afraid to
try something new!
