Dreamers live in the North of Italy, Realists in the CenterAccording to the latest research, by Maxistick Motta, the desires of Italians change on the bases of where they live.

In the south of Italy 30.4% would make their dreams reality--but with their mate. And the more saught after desires would be: trips to exotic places (35.8%), to possess an apartment in a good are...

Never Existed in Italy for Italian Dishes: Spaghetti & Meatballs, Parmigiano, Subs and grinders stuffed Fettuccine All'AlfredoThere is nothing like pouring a bucket of cream, along with cream cheese into a pot along with 6 strong lumps of garlic then adding in some pumpkin pie spices like nutmeg; to create an Italian food ....Alfredo's sauce wasn't really a sauce, but a familiar & simple invention made of melted butter & parmigiano-- Alfredo opened the first restuarant in Rome. Recipes that mimick Italian ones are nothing similar, they went wrong when they started to overdress foods, and over spice them. True Italian recipes will bring you back to simplicity.

Wasn't that the way it was in the beginning, until the world decided to change it all?Italian ideas: Your SaladWhy not try a simple natural salad?Mixed lettuces, radicchio or just plain green! A green-red tomato if you'd likeFresh unproccessed olive oil, you may have to hunt this one down, there is a huge difference- better to find an olive oil farmJuice of a young fresh lemonSea Salt, yes Sea salt! Even if you end up putting on more, sea salt is much less potent than man manipulated versions, test it for yourself...and that is it! Mix well. Hope this blog site to be informative and fun!...

Shelved supermarket pasta's aren't all the same! I assure you that when italians visit other countries they prefer to eat only their own products, hmmm, I wonder why.If a famous brand of pasta is sold in your market check the manufacter country, Barilla made in the US is DIFFERENT than the Barilla pasta "Made in Italy" probably due to the fact that the quality of the ingredients themselves differ... could be that now the grains grown in many other countries are all gentically modified; read the labels!--from ItalyHope this blog site to be informative and fun!...
