Cucina Casalinga

Posted April 6, 2011 by Sharon 4 Comments

Cucina casalinga means home cooking.

As reported in the Wall Street Journal, some Calabrian mammas–preparing and shipping meals for their far-flung offspring–are living proof of the on-going power cucina caslinga in Italian life.

    Ciao Sharon,

    It is nice to hear “love.” That surely makes casalinga special. Thank you for telling me that.

    What kinds of foods are often made for cucina caslinga? I saw that many people does as the woman does, but I wonder whether other types of foods are made as well.

      Ciao Kuei-Ti,

      Casalinga simply means home cooking. Soups, pastas, meats, vegetables–anything cooked in the house is casalinga, and usually wonderful because it’s prepared with love.

    Oh my, this is amazing! I want to move to Calabria and have my mother promptly follow me there. At the very least, I’d like to meet Mr. Martino — I’m sure he’s able to sneak bites of all of that delicious food. Only in Italy!
