Italian Cooking With Traditional Italian Food

Traditional Italian food is available in restaurants specializing in Italian food cooking. There are many fast food restaurants serving Americanized Italian food, lacking the original cooking styles and even some of the original ingredients have been changed.

For example, traditional Italian pizza is made with flat bread, containing herbs and topped with olive oil, Mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes and basil. Can you compare this pizza with a Hawaiian or a Supreme? For one, I have never tasted basil on a pizza, until I went to an Italian restaurant and noticed basil was one of the ingredients on the pizza.

There are many restaurants selling Italian food, but there are very few selling traditional Italian food, just like mamma used to make in the mother country.

If you take a cooking tour to Italy and taste the foods in many regions, you will taste the original taste of traditional Italian food. In some towns in America, where Italian food is not mass produced, you can taste authentic Italian cooking in Italian American restaurants.

There is an Italian restaurant, not far from my home, where they cook authentic Italian meals and I take many of my friends there, whenever I want to show them real Italian food. Although their prices are a little higher than fast food restaurants, the food may take a little longer to cook, but it is much more delicious and the flavours are unforgettable.

Whenever we want to hold a special family event, we always hire a few tables to entertain our family friends. Many of our friends, always ask if we will be having our family event at the same restaurant.

I have requested many of the recipes and the chef was obliging, to help expand my repertoire of cooking with traditional Italian food.
