Italy has an immense and varied cultural heritage made up of infinite culinary traditions, with influences from its various territories.

Each region offers incredible raw materials and unique recipes. We have travelled from the north to the far south to put together the list you find on this page featuring some lesser known dishes, and added wine pairings with local varieties. 

All the recipes listed here have been selected so anyone can make them - many come from the Italian povera cucina, meaning 'poor kitchen' and as such feature ingredients that you should be able to find and prepare easily.
