Oh, my wife is a wonderful cook. She comes from a food-loving Italian family - her father owned a pizzeria!
If your mother cooks Italian food, why should you go to a restaurant?
I also want to go to an Italian island and do cuisine properly with some famous Italian chef and, like, his mother.
I'm married to an Italian woman, and I used to love cooking Italian at home, because it's one-pot cooking. But my wife does not approve of my Italian cooking.
The cooking standards for Italian food are less demanding than for French. All you need are some fried mozzarella and five pastas, and you're in business.
I've always been able to cook Italian food. That's in my blood because I'm half Sicilian.
First of all, I can't really claim to be a great chef.
I love the simplicity, the ingredients, the culture, the history and the seasonality of Italian cuisine. In Italy people do not travel. They cook the way grandma did, using fresh ingredients and what is available in season.
My mother and sisters cooked Italian food, and I never heard of half of the dishes you see in these Italian restaurants. I just go in and order spaghetti.
Roberto Donna is a great Italian chef.
