IN THIS CHAPTER

Mastering time-honored Italian traditions and meal planning

Reviewing Italian culinary history

Understanding the role of culture in the Italian kitchen

Much of what the world considers to be “Italian food” is either the food of Italian immigrants in foreign lands (which has been adapted to their new home countries) or regional dishes that Italians themselves would describe as being the food of a particular place in Italy instead of a national cuisine. Even Italy’s most ubiquitous dishes — such as pizza, pasta, and bread — have origins that can be traced to specific towns or regions even though they are now embraced by the nation as a whole. In this chapter, you learn how to master time-honored traditions, discover how menus are structured, familiarize yourself with a bit of Italian culinary history, and discover the role of culture in Italian cuisine.
