	Italian cuisine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Italian cuisine is extremely varied: the country of Italy was only unified in 1861, and its cuisines reflect the cultural variety of its regions and its diverse history (with culinary influences from Greek, Roman, Norman and Arab civilizations).
		Italian cuisine is regarded as a prime example of the Mediterranean diet, and is imitated all over the world.
		Roman cuisine, for example, uses a lot of pecorino (sheep's cheese) and offal (called frattaje in Rome, büsèca in Milan, trippa in Naples and in most of the Country), while Tuscan cooking features white beans, meat, and unsalted bread; the pizzas of Rome are thin as crackers, while Neapolitan and Sicilian pizza is thicker.

	Rustico: Regional Italian Cuisine
		As I was researching "Rustico: Regional Italian Country Cooking" and "The Italian Grill" I visited every region of Italy, from the well-traveled country roads of the Chianti wine zone in Tuscany to the deserted peaks of Monte Pollino in Basilicata.

		I explore the amazing diversity of Italian regional cuisines, explain how they came to be, and provide you with flavorful, easy-to-make heirloom recipes, as well as information about regional specialties, places to visit in Italy, and not-to-be-missed experiences.
