Simply Italian, a revised and modernised version of the 2003 World Food Media Award winner Simply Italian, is a wonderful colleciton of recipes that reflects today's Italian home-style cooking. Many Italian recipes originate from a traditional culture of home cooking, using seasonal ingredients put together with a minimum fuss. The daily ritual of visiting the market for the freshest produce and cooking it simply for family and friends makes food an integral part of Italian life. Italy is historically divided into different regions, each with its own distinctive cuisine. Over time, influences such as the spice traders of the Orient, the invading Greeks and Saracons, as well as the country's close proximity to France and Austria, have helped shape Italian cooking into today's rich diversity.
