We would all like to uproot our lives and move to Italy for good, right? Traveling from city to city, tasting and trying all the beautiful and delicious regional cuisines, maybe even learning a few techniques as you go? Imagine the flavors, the aromas, the views!
But unfortunately most of us have jobs and responsibilities that prevent us from doing so. Under Tuscany Sun life, but we have a safeguard that comes right after the journey to the source: cooking from classic cookbooks. We’ve put together a list of the 10 essential cookbooks you must buy if you want to travel through food and learn more about Italian food. No plane ticket or packed suitcase! Just a few ingredients, a willingness to learn, and a hungry crowd to feed.
Like many places, this country has so many regional dishes, different ingredients and techniques, that make the cuisine so diverse. Some dishes that you are probably very familiar with, like Risotto, dumplings, and eggplant parmes, but there are plenty more you may never have heard of or tried. Turn to the experts, like Marcella Hazan, Lidia Matticchio Bastianich, Elizabeth David, and more, to dive deep into these regional dishes. Or focus on one aspect, like pasta or pizza, and become a genius at preparing those dishes. Either way, we have a cookbook to get you started in the kitchen. Is your stomach still growling? Because mine is. So let’s start cooking. Oh and buon appetite!
