Italian cuisine is undoubtedly one of the most popular in the world. For its universally recognized nutritional qualities, its simplicity, its colors and its relatively cheap appearance (pasta is a wonderful example), it has conquered the world. Taking an interest in Italian gastronomy is not summed up in cooking just a plate of pasta. It is also a question of becoming aware of its dazzling success in the world, of discovering the origin of the Italian products that are prepared.

Italian cuisine all over the world

When we talk about Italian gastronomy in the world, we could almost talk about a real conquest! Indeed, the fusion of Italian cuisine around the world is impressive, as this example illustrates: 14 billion pasta dishes would be cooked every year. Pasta alla carbonara would also be the most consumed dish in the world. But woe to you if you add cream to this famous recipe of traditional Italian cuisine, you risk offending our Italian friends. The success of Italian gastronomy in the world, and its incredible diffusion, is related to the different migratory flows of the Italian people: The Great Emigration from 1860 to 1930, when the Italians left for the American continent, European emigration since the 1950s. It is therefore in North America, South America and Europe that we find a strong Italian influence in the dishes.
