Welcome to Italian Food Culture!
Are you a lover of italian food ?
Hello, i'm Valentino and i'm Italian. I have opened this website because i would like to spread the culture of good
italian food! I would like to provide some interesting informations and trivia. For example, where were spaghetti produced ? Do you know that "
spaghetti and meatballs" are unknown in Italy? (and you may even get some weird glare if you ask for them in an italian restaurant) Where and when
pizza "Margherita" get this name? Do you know how to operate a "
Moka" the
traditional espresso machine ?
Italian food how-to ?
I would like to publish some interesting and useful facts about italian food: recipes, trick and how-to guides.
Yes, we have traditions and culture that spawn more than a couple of thousands of years and i'm quite proud of it. More importantly, italy was fairly a mess during her past history: we had an amazing number of "tourists" during the past millennias... i'm referring to various barbaric invaders after the fall of the roman empire and then the isolationism during the middle ages. Then we had arab and turkish domination in the southern part, then spanish, austro-ungarian... well.. you name it, we had it. Oh we had vikings invasions in sicily too.
Well, every culture that arrived mixed with our own, so you may find "traces" in some of our words... and recipes! That's why the italian food traditions are so vast and different.
And believe me: you would like to try them all. |
