Italian Cuisine

I have started researching Italian Cuisine. I can't afford to go there so I have to research it. I don't think there is one true Italian food. Prior to unification in 1861 Italy was a land mass of provinces, duchys etc. Each area had their own language, traditions and cuisines. Even as Italy moves in to the future, the regional cuisines still remain and are thriving.

The first area I am studying is Tuscany. I look forward to sharing my studies on this blog.

Enjoy!

I'm still around

Didn't want you guys to forget me. Haven't posted in a while. Been busy doing food things of course. The landlord still doesn't have the building ready. Bummer. All of my inventory is in the dining room. I have plenty of spices and herbs but no building to put them in. In addition to spices and herbs I have loose tea such as chinese black, green, oolong, earl grey and darjeeling.

I will be carrying stuff from all over the world. I have parmegiana reggiano cheese and san marzano tomatoes coming in and they are imported from Italy so they are the real deal. I will also being selling dehydrated mushrooms like woodear, which is a staple in asian food and porcini for the Italian cuisine.

I have some olives coming in from Sicily and black and white truffle oil from Italy. I found an importer in Rhode Island who carries a lot of mediterranean food. I will be adding sushi making supplies such as rolling mats, sushi rice and roasted nori (seaweed) sheets and chop sticks.

Look forward to do some cooking classes.
