ITMilan Recipes
Milan’s age-old gastronomic tradition is based on local agricultural products of excellent quality.
Typical Milanese cuisine boasts simple flavourful dishes, often derived from a poor rural tradition whose first and second courses, as well as sweets and desserts, have been enriched and elaborated over time: from the Costoletta al Risotto alla Milanese [veal cutlet with risotto], to the Cassouela alla Polenta [a pork and cabbage soup served with cornmeal porridge], and Zabaione alle Pere Martine Giulebbate [Sabayon with pears]. Don’t miss the D.O.C. [designation of origin] wine produced in San Colombano.
Traditional cuisine can be savoured at typical local restaurants bearing the DeCA marking.
To discover the secrets of Milanese cuisine, consult the recipes kindly provided by the "Accademia Italiana della Cucina".
