La cucina italiana with its appetizing medleys of aromas, flavors, colors and textures continues to gain magnitude as the world's favorite way of cooking. Italian food is doubly appealing for its healthful nature, for the olive oil, grains, vegetables, herbs, fish, cheese, fruit and wine of the ancient Mediterranean, the elements esteemed as ideal for a modern diet.

Instead, cooks over the ages have created a monumental repertory of dishes that vary from region to region and town to town.
