<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As
John Mariani observes in his book <a href="http://us.macmillan.com/howitalianfoodconqueredtheworld/johnfmariani">How Italian Food Conquered the World</a>, Italian
food is the most popular in the world, but with popularity comes commerce, and
with commerce comes ubiquity, and with ubiquity, very often, comes mediocrity.
Brilliant marketing and mass production has led to almost all Italian
ingredients, including such staples as olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cheese,
cured meats, tinned tomatoes and, indeed, pasta, being available on the shelves
of retailers large and small the world over to such an extent that otherwise
discerning consumers no longer know what is good and bad because they have
never tasted the good.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In
the UK some of the most high profile restaurant critics, food writers/
broadcasters either dismiss Italian Food claiming it is not a serious cuisine
or tinker with it to such an extent that one would expect to see the books in
the comedy section of a bookshop and the TV programme on a Comedy Channel. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Whilst Slow Food has been the antithesis to mass
produced food and globalization one must not fall into the trap that Italy has
not, and continues to be affected by these global realities. In Italy today
most of the issues relating to food that one sees in say the USA or the UK are
present.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In terms of retail, large supermarkets and
hypermarkets many owned by pan European or multinational groups and their
buying power threatens the small independent and specialist retailers in the
same way as in the UK. Wherever you are, it is important to purchase Italian
food products from a trusted source.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">Italy is certainly not a junk or processed food
free country as some people might expect. A recent <a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/life/food/2014/01/children_s_eating_habits_in_italy_european_kids_eat_junk_food_too.html">book</a> by a Canadian
journalist, Jeannie Marshall, living in Italy shows that </span><span lang="EN-US">packaged snacks and junk foods
are displacing natural, home-cooked meals even in Italy, a place we tend to
associate with a healthy Mediterranean diet. Italy’s food culture is giving way
to Americanised processed, packaged, and industrially produced foods. This
certainly contrasts with issue 4 of the excellent Fool Magazine that is
dedicated to Italian gastronomy. If read out of context it certainly propagates
the myth of Italy as largely being a country dominated by superb designers,
artisan food and wine producers and stupendous chefs. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What
the editors of <a href="http://shop.fool.se/magazines/issue-4.html">Fool </a>do recognise is that Italy is still a young country and
even today is more like a confederation of states. Regional differences are
reflected in food and there is a very rich food culture. Traditions are
defended but there is still much debate and disagreement on the pursuit of that
myth called authenticity. The editors suggest that the rich food culture and
tradition leads to a static status quo, obstructing development, curiosity, and
creativity. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">However,
the history of Italian cuisine or cooking before and after unification would
suggest instead that there has been and continues to be a veritable melting
pot. What has gone into the pot has arrived with invaders, expatriates
returning home and more recently through the technologies that facilitate mass
communication and media.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

On the rare occasions that I did post the subject matter tended to be about Italian Food or ingredients.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">For me it is
very difficult to contemplate Italian food without thinking of wine and
specifically Italian wines. Naturally in a country where regional and local
food is so important there are also in most cases wonderful wines being made
that can suit most budgets and tastes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">Italy has been
one of the top 2 wine producers by volume for many years but within that volume
there is both exceptional quality and value to suit all budgets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">I would argue
that with the possible exception of France, Italy provides the biggest choice
in terms of winemaking styles made with indigenous and international grape
varieties. These wines not only match regional and local cuisines but also can
compliment cuisines raging from Chinese, Thai, and Persian to that of the
Indian subcontinent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">I am often
asked to recommend Italian wines and have even helped restaurateurs with their
wine lists. In 2010 I put together a list of over 300 wines from around 100
winemakers for a food and wine shop that I co founded in London. We ran many
wine events featuring the winemakers themselves who we either specifically
invited or happened to be passing through London to visit distributors or
participate in large wine events.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">The general
feedback was very positive, many customers were not aware of the variety of
truly excellent wines available ranging in price from £8 to £900 plus per
bottle. The reputation of Italian wines has improved to such an extent over the
last forty years that they now produce some of the very best wines in the
world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">I am often
asked to recommend Italian wines and or winemakers producing wines in Italy.
Below is a list of some of my personal favourite winemakers or estates covering
most of Italy. The vast majority of these wines are available all over the
world and most certainly in the UK, most of Europe and the USA</span></div>

There are several competing theories, but most are anecdotal or food mythology.<br /><br />First, although often thought of as a typical Roman dish, the name is said to come from a dish made in the Appenine mountains of the Abruzzo by woodcutters who made charcoal for fuel. They would cook the dish over a hardwood charcoal fire and use penne rather than spaghetti because it is easier to toss with the eggs and cheese.<br /><br />Second, is more obvious , that given the meaning of "alla carbonara", coal worker’s style, that the dish was a dish eaten by coal workers or that the abundant use of coarsely ground black pepper resembles coal flakes.<br /><br />Another story or myth is that food shortages after the liberation of Rome in 1944 were so severe that Allied troops distributed military rations consisting of powdered egg and bacon which the local populace used with water to season the easily stored dried pasta. This GI's invented the dish story is very popular with American tourists in Rome.<br /><br />There is also a theory that in the province of Ciociaria, in the region of Lazio about halfway between Rome and Benevento, pasta was seasoned in a Neapolitan style with eggs, lard, and pecorino cheese. During the German occupation of Rome during the World War II, many middle class families dispersed from Rome into this region to escape the oppressiveness of the occupation and learned about this dish. After the war, Roman cuisine became very popular throughout Italy and this dish, now transformed into carbonara, became a prime example.<br /><br />Another story suggests that the famous restaurant in the Campo d’Fiori in Rome, La Carbonara, was named after its speciality. Although the restaurant has been open since the early part of the twentieth century, and does in fact have carbonara on its menu, the restaurant when I spoke to them they denied any such connection .<br /><br />A highly unlikely story told in Il nuovo cucchiaio d’argento ( <a href="http://uk.phaidon.com/the-silver-spoon/the-silver-spoon-series/the-silver-spoon-9780714862453/">The Silver Spoon</a>) is that the dish was originally made with black squid ink and therefore acquired its name as it was as black as coal. <br /><br />Thanks to <a href="http://youngandfoodish.com/">Daniel Young</a> and <a href="http://www.parlafood.com/about/">Katie Parla</a> I recently had the pleasure of meeting the great Roman Chef Arcangelo Dandini in London and we discussed this dish , I was pleasantly surprised to find that we used exactly the same ingredients Pasta Secca (Spaghetoni in this case) Guanciale , Pecorino Romano and Egg Yolks. What I did learn were a few tips on technique and that the egg yolks should be fridge cold before use. Arcangelo actually wrote out his recipe for me on a paper napkin see above .<br /><br />Anyway here is the recipe :<br /><br />Use the best possible, bronze dye-extruded durum wheat dried pasta; my preference is for <a href="http://www.pastificiodeicampi.it/">Pastificio dei Camp</a>i. The guanciale should first be sliced lengthways into 5mm thick slices, either by knife or slicing machine, then cut by knife into 20mm lardons that look like a lean meat sandwich with fat at each end. The pepper should not be ground or milled; briefly roast whole peppercorns in a pan for a couple of minutes then crush medium–fine in a mortar and pestle — this brings out the aroma and oils of the pepper to infuse the dish. Egg yolks from marigold-fed hens are a deep gold in colour and contribute colour to the finished dish — in the UK you could use the Italian imported eggs or Burford Brown eggs from Clarence Court.<br /><br />For four servings:400g spaghettoni-size long pasta, such as Pastificio dei Campi Vermicelli
80g pecorino Romano (Brunelli if possible), finely grated
100g Lazio-produced artisan guanciale, cut into lardons 5x20mm
3g black peppercorns
4 fridge-cold free-range egg yolks.<br /><br />Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling, well-salted water for around 7-8 minutes, until al dente. Drain, but keep back some of the pasta water for the sauce.<br /><br />Meanwhile, fry the guanciale in a frying pan until crisp but not charred; there is no need to use any fat. Retain all the fat and the crisped lardons and let them cool a little.<br /><br />Beat the egg yolks with one third of the grated pecorino and 1.5Tbs of cooled guanciale fat and juices.<br />Finish the dish in a large bowl. Tip in the pasta then add the guanciale with the remaining fat, then some pasta water, then beaten eggs, then pepper, then another third of the cheese, mixing in between each stage; by the end there should be a creamy emulsion forming on the sides and bottom of the bowl. The emulsion is created from the mixing of the starch in the pasta water with the cheese, eggs and fat.<br /><br />Use the remaining cheese to sprinkle on each 100g portion.<br /><br />Many people are tempted to use cream in this dish but it is totally unnecessary as the cream like emulsion that is created by the yolks, fat, cheese and pasta water is the whole purpose of this dish. In Italy when made properly this dish has the perfect ratio of ingredients and is not too wet or over sauced , each component of the dish is both distinctive and at the same time perfectly blended , the perfect synthesis ! Buon appetito <br /><br />Sourcing tips<br />Pasta<br /><br />The very best :<br /><br />Pastificio dei Campi , Vermicelli <br />Pastificio Mascarelli Spaghetti <br /><br />Great value and often superior quality :<br />Supermarket own brands are often better than some of the more expensive globally marketed Italian industrial brands and are often half the price – these often change and therefore need to be monitored but recently I tasted Morrisons and Tesco’s top of the range own brands made for them by a top Pasta maker in the Naples area. Both were bronze –dyed extruded and the quality was very impressive.<br /><br />However it’s really worth getting the best even at £10 or 12 + per kg the very best pasta secca is only going to cost £1 per portion. <br />.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.blogger.com/blog-feed.g?blogID=13025148</div>Gastro1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12100960618329536493noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13025148.post-14793203071681974032012-04-09T10:15:00.002+01:002012-04-09T10:19:06.712+01:00The Staff CanteenI wrote a post about Mark Morris's The Staff Canteen the UK's leading networking site for Chefs but also a very interesting case study for content marketers and curators.
