Regional Italian Cuisine | Part 1: North of Italy

Bolognese, pesto, risotto… where do they come from? And why should you care? Well, traditional Italian dishes are made in a particular way depending on the region they come from. So I want to teach you their specific origin and ingredients so next time you order them, you get the best representation of that dish and not some copycat.


This will be a two part video divided into North and South of Italy and this one is Part 1. Unfortunately it’s impossible to mention all traditional dishes from all the regions in the North so I just focused on the most popular ones and the ones you probably already know such as pesto, risotto, Bolognese, lasagna and ingredients such as Parmigiano, prosciutto and many others. There’s a lot of really cool information in this video so if you like to learn about cuisines or you love Italian food, then you are really going to enjoy it.

Let me know if you have any ideas or requests about dishes, cooking or baking techniques you would like to learn so I can make a video about it.


Enjoy e buon apetito!

This is great. Grew up on lots of polenta and risotto. Representing Friuli here.

Even though I'm not Italian, I Italy with a passion that would shock you. So many, "best in the world, " things come from Italy...food, cars, movies....

I have Italian friends, and they treat me like family. I wish Canada would imitate Italy a little more on some things. Cheers, Sorella Sabrina! =)

I love the way you explain all about Italian regional food. It’s full of passion and very inspiration. I do really appreciated if you could produce videos about the topics you mentioned in the video.

Dalla Liguria: perfetta descrizione BARVISSIMA... persino molti italiani (non liguri) non consono questi dettagli!! Very good explanation Sabrina!

This video is WONDERFUL! Would love to learn more about different regions for pastas, wines and of course your take on traditional dishes from different areas! Great presentation & energy!!

[tbp]

Please please make a video about pasta, about traditional pasta sauces, about Italian cheese varieties, italian wines, italian desserts. So interesting to know about all the regional differences. Grazie! ☺️

This is like my dream video to watch—just talking about food and where it comes from. Fantastic content!

[diemme]

as an Italian who loves food, and whose family has different origins within the 20 regions, I can certify this is all correct. very good video, although.. there would be a ton of other famous or less famous dishes to talk about, that are from the northern regions: Fontina, Gorgonzola, Bagna Cauda, Casseoeula, Prosciutto Toscano, - *how these weren't mentioned in the video, I dont' get it!* - Cotoletta alla Milanese, Cacciucco, Focaccia Ligure, Pandoro... yum I'm getting hungry. Definitely gained a subscriber here.. let's move to the south!

A great book about Southern Italy, “Christ Stopped in Eboli”, opened with everyone in Italy believes Southern Italy begins just south of where they live.

[xachilles]

You know your stuff.
Except....in the Tuscan chapter you show Michaelangelo's David and Da Vinci's Last Supper.
The Last Supper is in Milan, Lombardia.
But I love Cucina Emigliana!
Bravo. To bad I don't eat cheese at all. 😀

One of the very few videos I have seen about italian food where information is actually on point, well done! As a side note, I come from Friuli Venezia Giulia and I cried a little bit when you said San Daniele is not your favourite, but hey, regional pride is a must. If you are going to do a video about italian wines I am sure we can get a better spot :)

[trishmaloney]

Brava! I love learning about the food/culture of Italy. I am mostly Irish, but my grandpa’s side comes from Friuli Venezia Giulia, but I unfortunately don’t know too much about this region so I try to learn whenever I have the chance!

[Maplecook]

Geez, this comment section will fill up if I keep comment as I watch! haha! I will keep this my last comment for now.

You are answering SO many questions I had about Italy before I found your channel! I am an instant fan of yours, Chef Sabrina!!

I'm definitely going to watch this several times; it's so full of great information!!!

[Keepingitrespectfulmostly.]

I have developed a real passion for Italian food and luckily we are fortunate enough to have a few Italian restaurants / takeaways open up in the area I live. Buon appetito bellissima signora.

[nithumthain]

Great video! We'd love to watch the regional pasta one you mentioned. We were actually searching for a video about that when we luckily stumbled on this one!

[Kamelemele]

just finding your videos - love them!! My father's family is Genovese so yeah yunmmy pesto. A video on Pastas would be great, I will look to see if you have already done that. ❤💚
