“A tavola non si invecchia.” An Italian proverb which means, “At the table with loved ones you do not grow old.”
Italy is one of my favourite places in the world and I am keen on maintaining authentic regional Italian cooking while providing some insight to those interested. I want to share my love for Italian food which should be simple, fresh, made from easy to obtain ingredients, and cooked in a way to bring out the true, clean flavours of the ingredients. Here I have created a guide so that you can comfortably know what the ingredients are and then can make those dishes again for friends and family when you get home. Enjoy!

The Italian Regions
Considering Italy has only been a unified country since 1861, it is unsurprising that many Italians identify first with their region and second as being Italian. When travelling to different regions it Italy, the bias in cooking towards certain ingredients or cooking methods is evident. Find out what makes that region unique, which places to visit, the type of local ingredients, the traditions and flavours of the dishes and a sample menu of that region’s dishes here.

March 4, 2016 at 8:57 pmI’ve been looking on the web more than two hours currently, but under no circumstances unearthed any attention-grabbing brief article similar to your site. It is actually good-looking worth enough to me. In my personal opinion, if many site owners and bloggers created fine written content items you did, cyberspace is going to be much more very helpful than everbefore.I’m going to book mark this website !! Will really read through once again !! Thanks with the helpful ideas.

January 22, 2017 at 11:19 pmYour blog should win the prize of Excellence. A blog is considered excellent when the instructions given are so clear and precise that the outcome is a no fail recipe. Let me tell you that I have spent the last 4 years looking for Italian recipes both in English and Italian but your blog rocks. Behind your blog I see an intelligent woman who is passionate about a lot of things in life and one of them is enjoying good food with the right ingredients and the right recipe. I know the time and the effort you invest because I am like you; I want the same when it comes to food and life in general. I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.

August 14, 2018 at 5:27 amHello, yes I am very sorry about that. I have been busy with a house renovation and moving and have not had time to do much investigation. I am very open to suggestions from anybody with WordPress knowledge. I promise I will be back very soon and apologies again for the lack of functionality/communication.
