                      The Artichokes

Artichokes are one of favorite vegetables in Italy for their healthy properties. In Rome they love to stuff the artichokes...                                                                                             Artichokes...the Roman recipe

take off the out and tougher leaves of the artichokes and the sharp tips... scoop out also the inside hairy part...stuff the artichokes(recipe for 4) with a mixture of 1TBS of olive oil, 5 TBS  breadcrumbs ,2 minced garlic, chopped parsley, mint ,salt and pepper to taste... Arrange the artichokes in pan with a little water, drizzle with more olive oil, cover and cook them for 40 min or until done at low heat.***Add more water if necessary...it is the water getting hot and steamy that cooks the artichokes...

My Mom recipe:

In other parts Of Italy they also like to slice the artichokes and fry them or stew with other vegetables...my mother used to stew them with sliced potatoes, olive oil, oregano, minced garlic and a little water for moisture. In Sardinia they add to this recipe beaten eggs.

         The Italian traditional family cooking

                 ” La cucina casalinga”

 The authentic traditional  Italian cooking is mostly family cooking which translates in Italian ”cucina casalinga”. The word “casalinga” meaning housewife tells that the cooking is made homemade by housewives. Their Italian recipes are nutritious and delicious.

 Many restaurants in Italy have signs that say “Cucina Casalinga “   to inform clients that they prepare simple, homemade and wholesome food. The family meal starts with a dish of pasta or rice or soups. The second course-especially during the week- can be meats that have been cooked in the tomato sauce like meatballs, sausages or braciole accompanied by veggies.

  On Sunday and holidays a roast, beef or pork is cooked separately in the oven and served with vegetables. The everyday meal ends with fruits and coffee…the festive one with cheese and pastries,too. The famous Antipasto, the snack before the big meal is always present at major holidays like Christmas, Easter or birthdays and anniversaries. Family dinner is usually accompanied by a good local wine since every Italian region has its own special wine... by ciaobellacooking

One of the oldest traditions of Italian/Neapolitan cooking is  : Il Fritto.

What we call in Italy “IL Fritto" are Fried meals and it is such an old and appreciated culinary tradition that in the sixteen century the rich Florentine lady Caterina DE’ Medici which become queen of France brought the art of Italian frying cuisine  to the French. In Naples the expression ”frijenno, magnanno”, which means that you should eat these fry foods as soon they are fried tells you how they should be cooked…in hot light oil and then eat…still hot, light and crunchy! In Italy and especially in Naples shops that prepare “Il Fritto” are called “Friggitorie” and they offer a variety of fried food.... by ciaobellacooking

La dolce vita.... in Italy... setting at the cafes,

drinking cappuccino, eating delicious pastry...

talking with  friends... 

As nearly all Italian coffee is based on the espresso,

which is almost pure coffee, the quality of the coffee is

very important. The way in which coffee beans are

roasted and then blended is very important. There are

several master blenders in Italy who are dedicated to

producing the perfect blend. For the best and freshest

tasting coffee, the coffee beans should be ground as

soon as possible before brewing. They should also be

the best quality possible. You should then get the best

espresso - an essential part of any Italian`s day.
