Italian food is one of the world’s “great cuisines.” In poll after poll, it is ranked as the most popular cuisine. Italian cooking is much more than pasta, pasta, pasta. Much of what is associated with French cooking came from Catherine de Medici, and the Italian chefs that followed her to France. When she married Henry II, Catherine brought her love of food with her.

Italians still love food. They revel in the variety of flavors, colors, and textures that can be experienced in food. There are hearty soups, light antipasti, grilled meat and fish, soft and hard cheeses, pastas, and of course desserts. These are often expressed with regional style and as local specialties.
