Learn indepts Italian Cuisine

[Cookwithlove]

I have a very vague knowledge about Italian cuisine and is limited to several dishes like spaghetti bolognaise, napolitana, alio Oglio, cabonara, some pasta, tiramisu and others. I certainly wish to increase repertoire of my Italian regional dishes and specialities of the different region of this vast, beautiful country with rich culture?

Or, start by reading this thread:

A Year of Italian Cooking

One of the best threads on eGullet ever, where Kevin 72 cooks his way through Italy in one year. This thread was the mother thread to the regional threads that MarkinHouston mentions. Witty, inspiring, with beautiful pictures. It completely changed my view of Italian food and taught me so much about the importance of regionality in this cuisine!
