7 Days as a Chef with Italy’s Most Beloved Recipes!
For an entire week, I cooked Italy’s most legendary recipes — and I swear: I’ve never felt more immersed in true Italian cuisine. Every single day revealed new secrets, ancient traditions, and small gestures that turn an ordinary dish into a masterpiece.
🍝 It all began with pasta aglio e olio, a dish that seems simple, but demands absolute precision. Pasta aglio e olio proves that with just a few ingredients, you can create great cuisine. Once you learn to control the garlic’s cook, master the emulsification, and find the perfect balance between oil and pasta water… pasta aglio e olio never leaves your kitchen again.
🌾 Then I moved on to risotto alla milanese — the king of creaminess. Risotto alla milanese taught me patience, respect for time, and the importance of always keeping hot broth nearby. The saffron’s color, the final touch of butter, the sound of sizzling rice… every spoonful of risotto alla milanese is pure history.
🍕 On day three, I tackled the myth: Neapolitan pizza. The dough for Neapolitan pizza, its long rise, and the simplicity of its toppings — everything speaks of Naples. And there’s no greater thrill than pulling a Neapolitan pizza out of the oven with a tall, golden, airy crust.
🥩 The next day, I made rustic ossobuco — a true test of slow cooking and detail. Rustic ossobuco is like a novel: slow, intense, unforgettable. When you serve it, the aroma of rustic ossobuco fills the entire room and makes your mouth water.
🍰 Then came the most beloved dessert: the perfect tiramisu. I chased the balance between sweet and bitter, between creaminess and structure. A perfect tiramisu isn’t just a dessert — it’s a cold emotion that warms your heart. Making the perfect tiramisu means respecting every step and every texture.
👵 Of course, I had to dedicate an entire day to the tricks from Nonna. Tricks from Nonna aren’t written down — they’re passed through eyes and hands. In this episode, the tricks from Nonna taught me to feel the kitchen, not just follow it.
🍽 And finally, I closed the week with a true celebration of food and family. When you talk about a celebration of food and family, everything changes: you’re not just cooking to feed, you’re cooking to create memories. The celebration of food and family is the essence of Italian cuisine: sharing, laughter, and love.
