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!
Would you not eat a pizza because of it's origins?

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 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 food recipes
and articles periodically, so please keep on visiting the site to ensure that you have
the latest recipes and articles.
