By Anthony Coen

Eating Italian Food During Your Vacation

It is most essential that during your Italian vacation that you tickle your taste buds on some of Italy's delicious delicacies. Most people often get suprised by the wide range of varities of food because they often expect to eat pasta, pizza, and spaghetti during their Italy Vacation, Yes you may to fill yourself with these classics but you may also consider indulging yourself with some of the local Italian cuisine. Keep in mind that the food that you eat must be made from the locally grown ingredients and also ask for a wine that will compliment the chosen food and then you will be experiencing the true Italy at its finest.

Italian food is categorized into 3 different regional types, this are Northern, Southern , and Central. First stop is Northern Italy: During your stay in Italy you will notice that the food in the northern part of the country is less "Italian" than you might have expected. For example in the north they use less oil and more butter. People here eat more boiled rice and corn polenta rather than pasta and tomato sauce which is not often used. Northern Italian cuisine also includes a large amount of the wild game found everywhere in the countryside this includes quail, rabbit and wild fowl. Northern Italy also offers lots of seafood due to the fact that it has many towns that are near the coast and some villages near rivers and streams for the fresh water fish.

Now lets move on to the Central Italy people here in this place love to use olive oil, cheese and the rich tomato based sauces. Seafood is also a well known specialty here. In the coastal areas of the place people say that Italian cooking has it roots in Tuscany, a region in Central Italy so make sure that you visit this place on your Italian vacation. Did you know that the very best Olive oil comes from the southern part of Italy. Very little of this fine olive oil is exported so better make sure you have yourself a sample when you are on your Italian Vacation. A city that is called Naples is well known because of the excellent pizza produced there. Citrus fruits are grown throughout the southern Italy region and many areas are specialty vineyards. Several excellent varieties of wine are produced in southern Italy and they are sought after throughout the world.

If you are looking for a restaurant while you are on your Italian Vacation there are hundreds of excellent restaurants to be found here. One of the best ways to enjoy the delicious foods here in Italy is that you take cooking classes while on your vacation. Most of these cooking lessons and culinary vacations include going to wine tasting events or winery tours. Dont worry because these classes wont take your whole day. The classes are generally a half day or less and cost around $200. Generally speaking these classes are hosted by families in their homes and sometimes by the small inns and bed and breakfast establishments. The tutors are quite often well respected chefs many of whom have written excellent Itallian cooking books and they will not be ashamed to promote their book during the class. Being a great wine area you will also learn the best wine to accompany each of the recipies and how to make killer authentic Italian tomato pasta sauce
