From the earliest Roman times to the present day, Italians
have shown the world what it means to eat well.
Of course, the Italians' love for good food isn't confined
to elaborate, sophisticated dishes. Indeed, it's their appreciation
of the perfect slice of prosciutto, the sweet perfection of fresh,
ripe fruit, and the noble wedge of well-aged cheese that gives
the Italian way with food its down to earth foundation.
Today the influence of Italian foods is felt in the kitchen
- sophisticated and simple - around the world, but perhaps nowhere
as naturally as in the American home.
Whatever Italian dish you choose to prepare, shopping for
ingredients presents few challenges if you live in a metropolitan
area. A majority of the supermarkets today will provide all you
need for most recipes, while a good speciality market can offer
the rest.
