Romagna is famous above all for its cooking specialties. And Forlì can boast a long cooking tradition too. Besides, the nearby town of Forlimpopoli was the birthplace of the Italian well-known gastronomy expert, Pellegrino Artusi. For those who don't know this man, let me say that he was the major authority on the Italian cooking and gastronomic tradition. He wrote several essays on the subject, such the well-known Science in kitchen and the art of eating well - A practical manual for all families written by Pellegrino Artusi. Every year, on June, Forlimpopoli celebrates the Artusian Festival (for more information, visit the website: www.artusi.info.) to celebrate this great cook.
The cooking legacy of the tradition here ranges from the famous "piadina" (have a look at its amusing website: www.piadinaonline.com, where you can find all details about this local delicacy), to the "passatelli" , or the local fish dishes, etc. In other words, it's just a matter of tastes! Romagna is a real paradise for the gluttons! Below you will find some traditional recipes and some cooking advice to prepare the most famous of these specialties, just to make you have a first tasting and to encourage you in discovering the local gastronomic tradition – a real cultural heritage.
