One cannot help but think that much of what we eat or recipes we see online are commercialized or have been tweaked to appeal to the masses or to the taste buds of the locals. To us, at Mamma Mia Recipes, true authentic Italian cooking or real Italian recipes are those that have been passed on from generation to generation. They use quality ingredients and the finished product typically cannot be purchased in grocery stores or even found in high end restaurants.
Authentic means believed, trustworthy and reliable or true to its type. The only place most of us know where we can get true authentic recipes or cooking is at home and from Mamma. Generally, the taste might be region specific or may be slightly different depending on what part of Italy your family was raised in but the food is very similar and made with quality ingredients coming right from the garden. Mamma makes a minestrone soup certain times of the year with ingredients picked right from the garden earlier or usually the same day. That is what I am talking about!
To capture that true authentic taste requires the same ingredients Grandma used to perfect the recipe so substitution of ingredients is usually not an option. Some Italian recipes require imported ingredients which may mean shopping at a specialty store that brings ingredients in right from the homeland. If you want authentic, we encourage you to find or use the same ingredients your Mom used when she made those tasty Italian treats.
The challenge today’s generation has is not just getting your hands on quality ingredients but documenting these authentic Italian recipes that are locked up in the heads of Grandma and Grandpa. A pinch of this, a handful of that and many of the recipes are not measured in a fashion that we are accustomed to. The other challenge is today’s generation is interested in convenience and we do not make the time to perfect the art of cooking these wholesome family recipes. Mamma Mia Recipes hopes to change that by encouraging this generation to develop the skill of authentic Italian cooking to ensure it survives the ages and that it is passed on to the next generation. Mangiare, eat and Let Mamma Feed You…
Please stay tuned as we will be posting some of the best homemade Italian recipes you can sink your teeth into. Mamma Mia Recipes is all about Authentic Italian Recipes and the food we grew up on. This website is a small tribute to our Mother and related Famiglia’s … Mangia, Mangia!
