My Italian Cooking
By Patricia Gorginas
Italian cooking is popular around the world. There are Italian
restaurants in the USA to Europe to Asia and the Middle East.
I am sure there must be a few Italian restaurants in African countries
serving pizza, pasta, sauces and those delicious Italian wines
from Tuscany.
I enjoy Italian cooking on special occasions for my family.
My husband claims to love my cooking. I’m not sure what
is wrong with him, but he does. He especially loves when I make
Italian dishes, though we both know that I don’t really
know anything about true Italian cooking.
I do make a good lasagna, and spaghetti is always a hit here,
but it isn’t true Italian cooking, and we all know it. All the
same, what matters is that we love it and it works well for us.
If you have the same affliction I do, you can do something about
it. If you aren’t happy with sauce from a jar, you can most certainly
learn Italian cooking to make your own special sauce to serve
to your family.
You can find cooking classes in your community, or you can train
to become a chef at a two year school. You can even sign up to
take just a few classes if Italian cooking is all that you are
interested in learning.
Even better, if you have a friend or family member who is a great
chef or cook, you can ask them to teach you something about Italian
cooking.
Italian heritage
I had a roommate in college who was proud of her Italian heritage,
as what her entire family. They were a hoot to be around, and
their family gatherings were always full of great food.
Her mom took pride in her Italian cooking, and you could taste
it in every bite she served. I’ll never forget the love that family
shared during their family gatherings, and I remember that it
centered around the food, and the tradition of Italian cooking.
Her mom said if a sauce can be cooked in under a few hours, it
wasn’t really sauce.
Experiment at home
You can tackle Italian cooking on your own by experimenting in
your own kitchen. You can find great recipes for Italian dishes
in cookbooks and online.
Find a few that you are interested in, but make sure you choose
simple ones first. Usually getting the basics down first is the
best step towards creating your own dishes.
Once you get the hang of Italian dishes, the sky is the limit.
You can then experiment and create your own special sauce to serve
to your own family for special events, or for an evening at home
alone.
