Your Poll Results Are In!

Well the results are in and most off you selected Italian as your favorite type of food!

Italian food is more than just pizza and spaghetti. There’s a wide range of ingredients, flavors, and dishes to experiment with in your own home. 

“Italian food is bold and satisfying without being heavy.  It’s rich and textural and uses a whole palette of flavors,”says Michael Chiarello, the chef and owner of Bottega, in California’s Napa Valley. From that initial crescendo to the last savored bite, every authentic Italian dish is built upon the most basic yet most flavorful ingredients. Italian cuisine follows the Mediterranean pattern of eating—it focuses on simple, natural ingredients, such as tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, dark leafy greens and whole grains, making it one of the world’s healthiest diets.
