Well in Italy everything really is about food, every party or event is organized in such a way that there will always be some good food around. It's a very important part of the culture actually and there are even many magazines on the subject.

"LA CUCINA ITALIANA" is the oldest, best known and most appreciated monthly magazine about Italian gastronomy and food culture - its was first published way back in 1929. The magazine publishes over a 1000 recipes each year.

Its strength lies in the fact that there is a kitchen in the editorial office where all the dishes are designed and prepared by real chefs, and then photographed in the offices and finally tested by the Director and his staff.

Get some ideas for your Italian meals directly from the La Cucina World Edition or the US Edition.
