Italian Food 101
Antipasti: The purpose of antipasti is to stimulate your senses before your meal, waking up your appetite, and making you yearn for more.
Risotto: traditional Italian dish made with a suitable variety of rice such as arborio, carnaroli or vialone nano. It is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. It originated in North Italy.
Pasta: Most pasta is made using wheat products mixed with water. Other types of pasta are made using ingredients such as rice, barley, corn, and beans.
PIzza: The innovation which gave us “pizza” was the use of tomato as a topping. After the tomato was brought to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, it was believed by many Europeans to be poisonous. By the late 18th century it was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomato to their yeast-based flat bread, and so the pizza was born. The dish gained in popularity, and soon Pizza became a tourist attraction as visitors to Naples ventured into the poorer areas of the city in order to try the local specialty.
