For a moment, forget everything you think you know about Italian cuisine. There’s actually no single, unified “Italian cuisine” \u2013 it’s just a convenient label for the rest of the world. The moment you cross the border, you’ll discover that Italy is gastronomically carved up into dozens of small, proud and completely distinct regions<\/strong>, each with its own ingredients, its own rules and its own sacred classics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to understand Italian food is to look at the fat it’s cooked in. The north is built on butter, cream, rice and polenta<\/strong>, while the south is the kingdom of olive oil, dried pasta and tomatoes<\/strong>. The golden rule: eat whatever grows and lives within fifty kilometres of your table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide we’ll take you through Italian flavours region by region<\/strong> \u2013 from authentic Neapolitan pizza through Ligurian pesto and Sicilian cannoli to Tuscan wines. We’ll also cover the rules of dining<\/strong>, how to spot real gelato<\/em>, how to avoid the tourist traps and what to order if you’re vegetarian<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
