Italian Cuisine
 |
Italy is a country of great diversity nearly in every facet of life and food is one of them. From the north to the south, Italy offers a large variety of crops such as: tomatoes, lemon, garlic and olives in the south, rice and maize in the north. This rich diversity of ingredients, which are locally available, has naturally affected the famous recipes of Italian cuisine as never seen on any other cuisine. The most famous dish of Italian cuisine, known as pasta, has more than 400 different forms. There are also many different varieties of sauces, which are undisputed counterparts of pasta dishes. Each sauce, cream, tomato, cheese, meat or fish has a matching form of noodle. Pizza is also a very famous dish of Italian cuisine. Most of the great Italian dishes come from peasant heritage and the common characteristic is that they can be prepared very quickly and economically. Source: HungryMonster Writers |
