Gastronomy

Notes and recipes

Italian cuisine is considered one of the best in the world, despite the simplicity of its ingredients, it is a very varied cuisine thanks to the richness and diversity of local gastronomic traditions and the typical products of the various areas of the peninsula; seas, mountains, lakes and plains. Just a few kilometers away from each other there are very different environments in terms of environment, culture and cuisine; in the alpine area, polenta and cheese dishes prevail, in the Padana Plain, rice dishes are the specialty, in the mountainous area you can taste above all meats and sausages, while along the coast there is a great variety of fish and seafood dishes. Italian cuisine can be defined as a mixture of traditions and regional gastronomy. A trip to Italy could be motivated by the desire to taste its gastronomy, not only in famous restaurants but also in the simple and original small trattorias of the villages (borgos) where dishes are served with typical products elaborated with ingredients and flavors of the surroundings.
