Italian American Cookbook: Essential Recipes Influenced by Italy and American Cooking Styles

By Juliette Boucher

Over the past century, hundreds of Italian-inspired dishes, influenced by American tastes, have taken their place at the table alongside traditional preparations. This results in a cuisine that is as current as the classic traditional preparations. These are dishes we all crave to eat.

Italian American cuisine has been highly influential in the American diet. It is one of the top three cuisines in the United States, alongside Chinese and Mexican cuisines.

Italian American food is based primarily on the culinary traditions of Southern Italian immigrants. However, a significant number of Northern Italian immigrants also came to the United States and influenced this style of cuisine to some extent. As a result, Italian Americans often identify foods with their regional heritage. For example, southern Italian staples include dry pasta, tomato sauce, and olive oil, whereas Northern Italian staples include foods such as risotto, white sauce, and polenta.
