The most important feast of the year is fast approaching. This is the time when Italian families, proud of their local traditions, prepare the dishes, which recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. Looking at Christmas meals in Bel Paese makes you understand that, indeed, there is no such thing as Italian cuisine. It is all about regional cooking.
From the Aosta Valley to Sicily, there are some famous Christmas classics such as panettone, tortellini, roasted lamb with potatoes, grilled eel and boiled ox, however, Italy has many festive dishes that are little known outside of their home region, let along abroad. Here is a list of my favourite ones to get you in the Christmas mood and, perhaps, inspire your Italian themed feast.
